Rattled Bones

To ride up god's scars is to hope he doesn't see, and flick you down. Or off the sutured earth holding in the dead. Communion rattling in your bike and bones.

Slowed down and played backwards it's morse code:

C R A S H A N D B U R N

Stop

Joe, I'm feeling it too! Several sections of 2km cobbles -- up and down in Flanders. See you at Roubaix?

@Simon - Ben ate one too many Haribo sweets in France, combined with the attrition dished out by the cobbles, he hasn't quite recovered…

@Christopher - You must be a real slave for the pave… Good luck!
