ride

always, there was

this elder-brotherly

hand, light,

on the back of the

seat, assuring me 

that gravity

wouldn't

get me yet

 That phantom
 clasp

 still assures me 
on subsequent

rides,  

that there is no reason

to be afraid of 

 new things, 

each experience,

another, first,

bicycle ride...
