It was one of those nights.
I felt myself flying apart,
had to break out of the box
before I splatted against the wall.
Better, I thought, to dissolve in
moonlight than end as an
impasto smudge on gray plaster.
And so I rode.
The wind flying in my face
reminded me I was still alive;
my legs pedaling kept me focused.
There was no plan, no sure destination,
just the desire to be whole, not a ragged
mess of mismatched molecules.
Time and distance became irrelevant.
When I became myself again
I was in a wood I didn't recognize,
tires crunching leaves fallen from autumn trees.
I kept on until there was no more
keeping on to do. The wood ended;
I was staring at the sky, and in that blue
ocean hung a ragged moon, weeping
the tears I carried but could not cry.
I propped the bike between two trees
and stood under that moon, silently
blessing Diana for taking the sorrow
I was unable to unburden, and after
some unclocked passage of time headed
back to my life, many memories lighter.
