White Fluff
December 13, 2018
I am perched on the narrow back of a pristine white R6 Yamaha
The sky is ink pierced with glaring headlights on all sides
My knuckles glow white in the nipping air
I cling to the bright orange jacket in front of me
Staring into a tangle of curls as I bounce and slide
The bike jolts its engine snapping and snarling
Pungent fumes of gasoline snake into my nostrils
Mellowed when rain floats onto my bare head
The only warm part of you is your torso
Tears are wrenched from your eyes by the wind
Drying instantly as they drip
