Ignition

[image error]


Summon lightning

and the thunder comes.


Kundalini rpm.


The dragon wakes,

flexes chrome muscles,

snorts hot breath.


A sneer on its lips,

a glint in its eyes.

A flick of its tail

and it’s off.


Trace pattern on retina.

The past a ghost of dust.


A roaring blur –

nothing but wind, vibration, a visor view.


The road unravels,

is devoured.


Finding peace in motion,

fully present –

now, now, now.


Never more alive

than on the cusp of death.


A knife’s edge –

riding the blade.


Into the unseen.


The road unmade

until you ride it into

existence.
