The helicopter

 
We see several hands stretching to the helicopter,
Of dry mouths that quiver with hope at its whir.
A mystery how bodies can pile to form a pagoda.

And why some bodies are always found on the copter
While other bodies rise from the dusty ground-earth,
And the bodies here have to reach out to bodies up there.
