Fast Flakes

side by side
contestants jockey
looking into the white
flakes of speed.

each resting vertically
feet encased in boots
fingers gripping
wood ready for release.

paths of ice glitter
while most tots
clear out
the demons possess
these speedsters.

on signal mates
pump up their courage
and shove off
danger flying past
as dark tree trunks
menace and fresh
flakes fall.

You put me right back on "The Wild Hill" somewhere in Germany where my brothers and I attempted to go sledding for my 12th birthday. We nearly killed ourselves flying down the icy "hill" (a mountain by American standards) and they almost didn't find me after the sled threw me in the fast flakes falling across the crystal crusted snow. A wonderful poem!!!
