Taken to earth

A love poem to falling off mountain bikes

inhale: hemlock needles and autumn honey flow into your soul

taste it: salt-tang sweats from one to one and back

birds call from the sighing branches and the earth herself? she moans

stretch hard upon the dirt! the whole planet is your living bed

open your eyes and see a pretty flower

    I love that you invited all our senses, I especially liked how you described the planet as our living bed.
