Orbital Motorway Poem by Jürgen Becker

Orbital Motorway



Looking up, the chain of cranes
is switching the tip of the wedge it makes,
the direction of flight stays the same, their speed
does not change, some cry, then
others cry, the chain vanishing into the distance between
cities that are silent in the air
