Burning of daylight


 Burning Daylight

by john Clare stokes  


i paused upon the Still Road

track to look down infinity and

the many who have traveled

on beyond the heat of this

July and the burning time

we could never quench all

the way up to Moniac, daylight

aflame, and i was in this heat

grateful for the ones who

led me through it,teaching me

the lessons of riding in burning

daylight, allowing me to draft,

while learning the craft,

never dreaming that i would

this July day be standing here,

alone, for in my mind we would

always be single file and pulling

one another along.
