A jolt of lightning
Travels through the spine
Signaling an explosion
To the consciousness.
Eyes watering,
His gaze searches mine,
Begrudgingly regaining his footing
Gripping the trainer's triangle
That is also unsteady.
He leans on it completely
Bent, chin nearly touching
Kicking wildly he begins
Straight, not angles that catch friction.
He passes by where I watch
Scrunched face, eyes forward
Determined not to show any sign of struggle.
To have chosen the instability of eight wheels
Instead of solid ground,
For what?
His look so familiar,
Like my brothers...
No, it was mine
And then he gave me the answer,
As he threw his last line of defense aside
And he used the flow of his arms to balance,
His legs moving with the grace of a dancer
The self created breeze smoothing his hair
And the chorus from "Something just like this",
Guiding him.
