across the grasses and reeds
blood mingled with the dew.
You’r in the horizon now
with transmission towers
tethered to whats left
of your eyes.
I’m superman
on a bike
atop the tallest hill in Cleves.
I pedal faster then a speeding bullet,
and the breeze blows
your head back together.
You gasp, “hell”
I press my palm
tight against your lips.
We ride to Tennessee.
Though this is posted in Novice, I feel it is languishing. There may be more than one reason for this but I suspect that crits are finding it difficult to comment on anything you have written without appearing over critical.
Could I suggest that you correct the little errors of grammar (you're not you'r, what's not whats,"Hell" not "hell") and be sure of your imagery (pedalling faster than a speeding bullet is not what you mean. You mean you pedal faster until you are going faster than a speeding bullet). Apart from these little things I cannot work out what this is all about and I am not encouraged to do so by the obscurity of it all.
Finally, you may find that crits alight on your perch if you give crit to others. I am not saying you have not, I have not checked....but it is good idea anyway.
Best,
