Window Seat By Molly McGinnis [1] On my flight back to Washington at 4 am
in air marbled by night and snow
I leaned against the oval glass and saw
tiny bodies of light pushing slowly
[5] down the mountain roads, each sphere
its own life full of sideways winds.
The flight attendant was humming
a movie score, pouring the coffee into paper
cups.
I was thinking that every story I have
[10] ever written in my head
has been about going home
when the student in the aisle seat tapped my shoulder
and said I do not want you to worry but do you mind
if I pray
[15] while thirty thousand feet beneath his question
people plowed through a snowstorm hardly stopping
to ask permission. As he whispered
[20] in Arabic I imagined the white flurries
breezing into the sand gusts outside my old house
in the desert and pretended I could understand
while cars floated through the chalkboard dark
like prayers released from airplanes
granted sudden phosphorescence
and instructed
not to drift upward, but to address
[25] the stranger.
