angst cycle (iii) 
[ǀ] (i)
a backbone and ribs 
a three dimensional image 
long and thin 
i’m thinking fish 
the darker grey backbone 
up and behind 
both left and right 
ribs
 
but the one on the right 
are angled up from me 
a fuzzy difficult to see 
hint of ribs 
the left hand side though 
a long line of parallel straight lines 
light grey on white
 
perhaps it’s a great 
sky fossil 
a monster so huge 
it dwarfs all our machines 
all the lives 
ever here
 
a fascinating pareidolia 
must of the rest of the sky 
reflects a scooped out valley 
in among sharp hills 
a landscape 
above which 
this strange floating fish 
once flew
 
perhaps if helium 
had occurred naturally 
in quantity 
here 
such a creature 
might have evolved
