Helicopters fly
Gray and Green
Against blue sky
Whoom-puh, Whoompuh
Blades cut through air
Shake leaves
Rattle glass
People watch from below.
Fly at night
Fly in day
Going where? When?
Today, tomorrow.
Young men, young women
Sons and daughters all
Fly across
Desert ground, look down.
Whoom-puh, Whoompuh
Beating of their hearts
And
Beating of blades:
Same sound.
