Over the years
I moved on
to other sports
to solitary sports
that suited me; that fit me
that asked for
a different kind of confidence.
I discovered cycling
and kayaking
and cross-country skiing
and hiking
I still do these things.
I still love these things.
-- creaky knees and all.
On special days,
on long, hard physical days
I still am -
a
mess of pure adrenalin
a
mess of pure exhaustion
a
mess of pure joy.
