The Storm Nursery
Two siblings, we enter the cable car
Not sitting close together
The car is a blown egg shell
Rising up from the car park
A thin screech
The great Alp yawns below
We are wingless birds
In a troubled glass pod,
A frail and tilting cradle
We hang from a slim thread
Ignoring the warning
‘Do not rock the car’
My brother does so
This is the storm nursery
For the heirs of Icarus
