Staggering, a
great height,
he grins in
half circumference.
Body taught,
straight like a
born arrow
he rides the
black machine,
revs, liking
the vibrations
of his own
voice, and
grins, yet again.
The circumference
complete.
It takes that
much time to
ease them
I walk past
the flower pot
in the foyer
all smiles
I'd done it again
held my fears
in the handkerchief
of my heart.
