Carrying Your Ghost #25

I still

Remember the day

You saved

My life

That day

We raced

Down endless

Ribbons of concrete

On our

Two wheeled

Steeds

Chasing the

Clouds

Across endless

Dakota grassland

Only your

Frantic yelling

Breaking the

Moment

To tell me

To stop

NOW

I never

Would have noticed

That axle

Slipping out

Of place

Until it was

Too late

But you

Were watching

Out for me

Like how you

Pulled a piece

Off your

Own bike

To fix mine

Se we could

Keep going

And I never

Really thanked you

Not properly

Not when I

Had the chance

So this is

The only thanks

I can give

To watch out

For you

To keep your

Memory alive

To go on

Carrying your Ghost
