Moonlighting

Worked late last night and didn't hit the trail until the sun had slid behind the hill.

I'd obtained a bike light earlier in the year, but subsequently broke it and I rode out not knowing what I'd do once it got dark.

And the moon came up.

The moon came up as the daylight faded and I rode in the thin silver-blue light, eyes peeled wide for rock and thorn and whatever else. Rattlesnakes maybe.

But I could only see the path, dark edges blurred, obstacles and dangers undetected.

And I flowed around them like water.
