A Good Set of Bicycle Lights
Strap white to the handle bar
red to the seat post
of your worrisome bicycle
a fixed gear nightmare, these nighttime
streets lay in wait while I lay waiting to be pierced
by the call that never comes
with a bit of luck.
Old light from distant stars
at the edge of my
galaxy of fear
arrives as pinpricks a reminder
your new orbit free
of my nettlesome gravity.
