Unknown
To the world
Jimmie Angel
Flew over in 1933
Four years later
Went back
With two friends
And his wife.
Damaged the plane
Wheels sunk
In a marsh
Took 11 days
To walk out
To civilization
A long bridal veil
In purest white
Descending
Beginning
A forceful stream
Buffeted by winds
Becoming raindrops
Until at the bottom
They are
A divine
And empty
Cloud
Of
Mist
