Helicopter Head

Sarah S. Shay

 

(…reports of strange lights:
white grids, purple-black oily
moons…blue and orange rims...)

Radio Unit:
“Helicopter Head, copy?”
“10-4, on my way.”

Axels chopping air,
Resurrecting from the ground:
Hiccupping giant.

The pilot is a
Linebacker, rototilling
a path for his team.

Friday night football:
Crossed with an eerily stark,
rural, foggy farm:

Cemetery farm:
Dead armies rise from drumming,
Dancing with their guns.

Green heads of lettuce,
Nauseated by the sound…
Salads WILL be tossed!

“Helicopter Head,
You are in a no-fly zone!”
(It doesn’t matter).

“Who’s in control now?!”
Out of control chopper is!
Red skies in ‘mourning.’

Helicopter Head
Ignites dead firing squads.
Shooting, THROBBING pain!

5-to-9 servings
Of fresh fruits and vegetables:
Casualties of war.

(...reports of strange sounds...
unidentified objects
beeping, whirring, whistling)

“HH, do you read?”
<silence>…<still ringing>...voicemail: (continued)
“oh, hi, HH…”------BEEP!

Message cut in 2
Dead still waltzing in 3/4
Pain is still a 10.
