First light’s cracking, night still grips,
to the blacktop rider's gleaming wings.
Wipers thumping the old two-by-two beat,
Tyres hissing down rain-slick street.

A Forever kind of Silence

I let out a sigh, inhaling exhaust and dust.
Her voice cuts through, steady, familiar,

Her frosting turns the landscape into a communal wedding cake.
She instigates thoughts in me I have not had since last winter.
