The racing woman

Tattoos of resilience down her thighs,

She shifts the gears and flies into the night.

A playful, teasing wit to guard against byes,

And keep the heavy shadows out of sight.

She survived a storm that should have broken grace,

And learned that open doors can bring the rain.

So now she runs at such a breathless pace,

With high walls built to barricade the pain.

never crowd her lane or force the lock,

Just drive in my lane, steady through the bend.

A quiet racing against the shock,

To prove that safe rides don't have to end.
