Tripping

The bike rolls up mountains,
thunders forward on the revving edge
of orgasmic storms.

Trip-taking is boring,
flying nowhere on a Harley,
like urgent sex,
is hard core
also the way a dandelion seeds
on the breath of the wind
is hard to the core.

The bike gets lighter
as the biker funnels through
narrow tunnels of speed -
danger-pleasure -
verge riding.

Leather and oil
mixing it up,
fumes
gulping daylight 
down
into the cast-iron engine
of a throbbing moment.
