Chrome Dreams

cool
to the
touch with fire
in her taut
tanked belly

roar
to the shore
horizon breathed
from a diesel flat
bed ahead
on split
plains of dusty
lusty bereavement

for days gone
by lovers scraped
off hard
headed denials
of what he
felt she felt
he couldn't
give her

reproach kick
starts his
winded tears the
blast through
helmet
shield not
enough

the noise
too not
enough to drown
out her hurt
sobs her tough
angry
mouth as she
spat and
turned

away but
here riding
blue with
him forever

temptress
fortress
at 93
mph gravel
eroded
regret coming

fast
