Rollercoaster rideNo event, no trigger, no notice, no hintFlung left to right, up and downAlways downAdrenaline infinitely floodingTears and sweat rollingDripping downAlways downSomething twangingPulled taut across shouldersAcross chestAcross scarred soulNothing to flee, nothing to fightAlone towards nightSun going downAlways downGlacial…
