5:30am

 


Today was a hard day

and my body harbors fatigue from head to toe.

Rolling out of bed before the sun touches my skin,

and my sacrificial breaths only get my so far.

My breath, floating up like smoke.

I hallucinate lightly as I pedal faster over bumps,

attempting to plan for the next 7 hours.
