Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a #New #Place to #Drive
You sit beside me, so newly #Charming
Sweating dew drops glisten, freshing your side
#Way down the lane away, #Living for another #Day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
#Swim seagull in the #Sky towards that hollow western #Isle
My envied #Lady holds you fast in her gaze
And watching #Lovers part, I #Feel you #Smiling
What #Glass splinters lie so deep in your #Mind
To tear out from your #Eyes with a board to stiffen brooding #Lies
But I’ll only #Watch you leave me further behind
And the #Sun drips down bedding heavy behind the front of your #Dress all shadowy lined
And the droning #Engine throbs in #Time with your beating #Heart
#Sing blue silver
Sing, sing #Blue #Silver

“You don’t feel anything as you hit the wall with 320 Km/h”, said the salesman when I asked him if it was dangerous to ride such a bike.
Then I wondered why, I myself was so fascinated by this relation between amazing italian design and the superior engine technology.
It is precisely this blend of beauty, speed and death, which inspired me to include this ‘scuplture’ in my artistic work.
The painted lines and forms interacts in a ‘futilistic’ attempt to investigate and challenge the given logic of Ducati design. Kristian von Hornsleth
