- Biker Babes 

It is the merest of touches
ventured across supple silk
that causes everything to contract -
not another breath ventured -
every nerve awaiting
the very next stroke.

It's the scintillating hum of approval
that causes every nuance to stabilize -
attentive to the passing moments.

The spinning tires churn against
the yielding asphalt
even as the grip is firm
against the elastic leather.

The roar of the engine rises
and then peaks
as the shadowed riders
disappear in the sunrise.
