Pedal Again

A Rusty 

orange

bike 

with a wire 

basket in front.

Worn leather

seat patterns

mark a 

lifetime

of rides.

The blue 

cedar 

cottage holds 

you up as the 

ryegrass

creeps 

up and 

cradles your

frame. 

Labeled 

as unwanted

you simply

are misunderstood.

The wish

of the want

is wrapped 

up with 

the quilt

that used to

ride in

this basket.

A roadblock

of fear

just 

needs

that

first 

push of 

life.

So it

can 

pedal 

again.
