ocean rode (2)/Hope pedals

For W.I.

Hope pedals
four years into
the seventh decade
Great Ocean Road
Sun rising

Fairhaven incline
Heading west

A lycra rider
Not a word
Suddenly
On my right shoulder

Braided blonde ponytail
Down her lycra back

I change gears
Years, decades, too late
Lycra disappears
Over the hill
And far away

I catch breath
On the Fairhaven crest
Gaze upon
Endless aeons
of ocean
