GLIMPSE

ribbon riding
polish shinning
wavering this summer heat
in undulations hot as
a cutting torch

the cloth rippling on us
held fast by bright buttons
we gleamed lasting
smiles as pole by pole
we past and ate up the
miles

leaning on elbows bruised
from hasty landings
the landscape wide
and wild swayed by
and the large open sky
gave each a thirst for
the soul

and we drank in clouds
and sunbeam remanants
windburned
filling up the mad adventure
with the flow of river crossings

and we watched great raptors
like sharp silhouettes
in the golden feilds
sailing
hunting in their stark abandon

the whistle shrill against the
steel music beneath us
