Sweet Cheats in Concrete Sheets

In a heart beat, they felt the sheer need

To break stability steeped in concrete sheets

A sweet cheat - a rhythm out of design

Beyond the old worn skies, stars aligned

Underneath it all, she comes alive -

Eyes on high, coveting cold demise

The twists and turns of mountain roads she runs

A fleeting ghost of all she once was -

Nothing more -

Than a bitter aftertaste in mouths of her suitors

They felt lifeless as their last smile left

Bodies strewn on the pavement - a delicate balance

Between mutated bike metal and mortal flesh

She sits cross-legged, humming a hymn for the dead
