Getting Back Up

The torn pieces of flesh join back to his skin.
The shattered ego becomes whole again.
The rider and bike are once again joined to each other, like a mother and her child.
Both are back in the air, soaring towards the heavens.
The hushed audience turns back into a blaring, powerful, loud-voiced, crowd.
