blowing through the mesh toes of my shoes
The omni-present smear of chain oil on that bit of my leg,
Never quite washing or wearing off before its next bite
Fingerless gloves if I could find the other one
Shorts in the morning without goosebumps
The smell of cocoa butter after a shower.
Neighbours giving me free planted herbs over the fence at 5:30 am
The slop of my tires on tarmac climbing the hills
The vrizz of my freewheel on the downhill side
A big smile and hello from another bright rideress going the other way
We know we’re best off here, not in our beds or behind the steering wheel
A little yellow chickadee sitting on a fence
Too quick for me to get my camera out
A horse that is skitty as I quietly zip by bright in the morning sun
Woodpeckers that bounce on the breeze with a flip of the wings
Blue sky dragging apart the clouds that rose off the lake overnight
A daylight that wins through the deepest of morning drowsiness
Tugging the corner of the duvet
Gently teasing my soul out of bed to come and play
She is here
