Scorching the Barrier

Dead of night, the silent scream,
A well-blazed horizon

Fire of air, the comet’s beam,
A sonic-song production

After-burn, heat of sky,
A boom beneath cool zenith

Climbing fast, the mach-2 high,
Steel ripping through the wind

Blast of space, the fixed-wing drive,
Scorching the barrier, skyline singed
