Riding Again

A young mind is set on her.
Do minds age like brains?
I remember

the memory has set like concrete.
She had a flat in Pamlico,
I had a bike - a Triumph T120
why should the bike type matter?

I was longitudinally mobile
inflamed
by the trip we were sharing.
Love is a drug right?

Today she arrives again
but she is getting off that throbbing bike
so her arrival is a leaving.

I check my thoughts
they are like boot prints
in a still drying concrete

and not set at all.
