Kami-Kazi Savior

I saw you dive -
   fire rainbows plunging -
    and the terror-hatred
           frozen on your face.
And I heard
       your screams
        in the azure sky -
  hot licks of flame
        consumed the
         cool ice clouds.
I felt your red blood,
    Patriots' tears,
   flow down the
     blank walls
          of the sky.
You drove your jagged nails
       into white palms
        - shrieking death
         at eleven hundred
              feet above our earth.
