This is a rewrite of, "Jet streams", a poem I published here on Poeter.se, 2nd of April, 2015, and then, the 24 of October, 2017. "Jet lags" and, "flights", are poetical images for climate disturbances caused by human activity; not flying specifically.


Jet streams, and Jet lags.

With steps and turns so refined they grant the air
exquisite flair; then spin the Globe within a thread
entwined into a single stance, inclined, to weave
each breath, into, their glimmering coat.

As night gives way to day and breeze my lids
the dancers of the air will trim the angle of
the Earth; then clear the seal for sun and moon
to finely tune the brim. Jet lags, of a magnitude
unknown, might be the price for flights that do
not pay them due respect.

-------------------------------------

Note
The Jet winds are four windsystems that
continually circulate around the Earth,
two on the Northen Hemisphere, and two
on the Southern Hemisphere. They are
essential for the preservation of a stable
climate-system.

According to many climate scientists
though, for the last 15 to 20 years,
especially the Jet stream closest to
the Artic, "The Polar Jet Stream", has
due to Global warming, begun to show
some quite serious irregularities,
adding to the frequency and severness
of draughts and extreme winter conditions
etc.

Svårt att veta riktigt hur, men nog påverkas jorden av oss människor... intressant att fundera över...
