ask21, Glider, wave flying

Glider pilots are like birds. They understand the winds and the winds are good to them.

Uninhabitable

Dynamic WT-9

Fly high in the night

The forest is

Uninhabitable like your mouth,

And when desire comes to whisper

In the room we reopen the identical wound.

Walt Whitman

Do not let the day end without having grown a bit, without being happy, without having risen your dreams. Do not let overcome by disappointment. Do not let anyone you remove the right to express yourself, which is almost a duty. Do not forsake the yearning to make your life something special.

Walt Whitman

Glider, Psalm 107

Scattered shapes suspended in the air

Elongate the storm that is invading me

Slip away and reappear

Unload themselves weigh me down

Divide the days

No refuge in the mirrors

Clouds fringed in shades of white

After the storm the sky opens again

The blue of the sky becomes iridescent

Mingles the top with the edges

Reliefs run height which cannot find its roof

Multiplied elements

Mountainsides wash away memories

In the sky colonies of piloted satellites

Pass through the switch screens of a sleeping robot

This night has slipped over my face

Since this morning every hour has been the same

The fog has formed on the cockpit it’s snowing

The bottom watches the entrances

The doors have been smashed

Freedom in the great mess of the herd

Fuzzy logic is advised

The cracks in the three sided mirror

Prolong the illusion

Liminal existence

snow rackets

Exile in the mountains would make my blindness worse. The sun or the snow are too intense there. The horizon is unfolded with no straight lines to hold to.

The landscape is a miniature where man does not exist, definitely having nothing to say to the world.

My sanctuary

sanctuary

My Sanctuary is born in my body

Stands in the hollow of my knots

Draw on the dead leaves

Where words do not resonate anymore.

My sanctuary path is sawdust,

Leaves no mark

The rain suspends its past, whispers the unreal.

My Sanctuary has no door,

No meetings

And burns all notices.

My sanctuary has no clocks

Is far from the roads

Isolated from all satellites

Its useless nights don’t indicate any future.

My sanctuary does not need ornament

It shuts all the voices

Carries a hundred of lost stones.

My sanctuary has deep shadows

drawn from empty labyrinths

Look straight in the face.

My sanctuary is indissoluble

Builds a glass wall against which ladders are set up,

Stops all persistent thresholds,

Turns faults back to the rigid line,

Frees itself from the horizon,

Makes the earth flat again.

My sanctuary hides the view

Says inaudible secrets

Rejects all lies.

My sanctuary does not like crossing

Pours a concrete that never harden

Turns to the lost heights

Brings my wildest hopes

Defeats all wars.

My sanctuary gradually makes me disappearing

Until total absence

Beyond the conceivable which carries me away.

The sky for eternal home

ASK 21

My interests were spreading, isolating, cutting, expanding, eliminating, going out, mislead, breaking the bond but now it’s about growing and raising freely, exposed to time, to the weather, to the sky without being succubus of the contingent. The contingent passes, the eternal home.

In case you were wondering how does a wing spar root look like.

autumn, Aviation, Cessna 150 Seaplane, Max Richter

There are wheels on heavy wings. And a kind of life only in the layers.
