Silver flash in low light,<\/p>\n
darting between trees in a dull roar,<\/p>\n
faster, louder, a bright red gleam<\/p>\n
as I perch on a high seat, speeding down<\/p>\n
a dusty road, throttling a cool 50 miles per hour,<\/p>\n
and I am a goddess of speed,<\/p>\n
Artemis, Apollo, race me, it’s 1922<\/p>\n
and I’m still vibrant with fear and grief<\/p>\n
but full of life. No second war has worn me down,<\/p>\n
the terror of that Great War is beneath poppy fields<\/p>\n
and I’m streaking by, fleeing fear<\/p>\n
and dressed in red, triumphant and terrified and mad<\/p>\n
with the want to outrun everything once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
