into the deep

i followed her tracks into the deep
she took it to a higher gear as it grew steep
i saw her tires spinning on loose rocks as we approached the top
with concentration laser-like she did not stop
and blasting down the backside i barely stayed in touch
did i like the pace? she asked.  not very much.
but i liked watching her legs bulging with desire
mine own felt as though they were on fire
my only wish was to stay upright until the end,
by which time i heard her call me friend.
