descent

when en velo
you descend
a beautiful mountain
(because all mountains are beautiful)
right?

when en velo
you descend
a mountain
with the green-bleu river down there
mist shrouded misty
you are just that descending thing...
no exhaust
no litter
falls from your jersey pockets,

no one can mis-
understand that intent,
politick it
wish
to take it from you.

you suffered climbing
now this,
60k/h
a shocking
unifying
unspeakable bliss
near montperoux.

shared with a few
that get it. later
you reflect
on those that don't.
