Song For Tony
Ratchet's Song For Tony
Motors idle
engines rumble
riders clash and fail
The rainstorm falls on visors
cloudy, black or pale.
When I dig my tires into the mud
I know you’re right behind.
I can never let my right hand go
because you’ll take my prize
Fighting for the win
against the greatest man
I breathe the whoops
I cry the jumps
I ride the corners high
When you are at my back
When you are bearing down
I cannot slow because I fear,
You’ll strike me from the sky
Looking at your spokes
from a blanket made of mud
your rooster tail departing
Win singing in your blood
I can feel your breath
on my bare neck at night.
When flesh bumps from the chill
Of knowing you are waiting
I turn my back to show you.
The number and my name
Knowing if you saw my face
The fear on it is plain
My nightmare is to turn to you
To find you’re not behind me
