Quotes by James C. Morehead (?)

“our pilot attacks heaven without mercy / racing for altitude / an ear-popping accent ripping through clouds”

“sipping tea in samarkand
a nestled perch
on concrete stilts
an eerie cove
in shadows glow
from sunlight seeping
patterned walls
open air a warmer breeze
so strangely whispers
this hidden space
on kneeling mats and
wooden slats
a simple teacup held in place”
― James C. Morehead, Canvas
