When I wrote my poem for Neil and Chris I came across this poem/book chapter that I had not put here on the blog. Part five will follow soonish. Early parts are back in May etc.
Bike Cycle Story Part Four
God there’s a sign for Beachy Head
Wouldn’t it be fun if…
I’ll cycle there and see how I feel
I feel scared
Looking over the edge
Hearing the surf
Smelling the sea
No, I won’t jump
But I will
I will
Throw the bike
Over the edge
It goes
And crashes
Down
Below
I turn away
Dawn is breaking
I’m not
I feel free
Free of the bike
Free to walk away
No more cycling
On these weary legs for now
I throw a coin
Left to Cornwall
Right to Dorset
Cornwall it is.
