WE SHOULD GO FOR A RUN
time passed quickly
days
mornings
nights
how was your run
how was your day
how are you feeling
how was your week
how was your
how was
love left s l o w l y
then all
at
once.
a thank you note.
thank you for your dismissal
thank you for your absence
thank you for your avoidance
thank you for your silence
thank you for your exit.
it made me cautious
it made me listen closer
it made me choose change
it made me choose me
it made me what you said i couldn’t be,
it made me a runner.
EDIT THE RUN
let the run be easy
let it be soft
light
less glamor
more heart
let it be about purpose
over
distance
let it be about strength
our minds our bodies
let it be about presence
let it be about
love.
sea foam
water takes all shape
conforms to it’s vessel,
it’s lover
december fire doesn’t know love
and earth ruined me
if you think of me now
i’m by the sea
of the ocean
unbothered,
dissolved
like sea foam
dancing on waves
kismet with the sun
don’t think of me now
i’m by the sea
old love, new distance.
in between desire and
presence,
silence,
space
across states.
the perfect night won’t let me forget;
the distance
how touch heals
what was
once mine
shared space
five to mom
canyons,
coffee?
sunrise meets me with new regret
swallowed up by hope
the
longer
i run
i meet the memory of what was
once mine.
distance
is still mine.
a runner’s prayer
give up, give in
to trails and sunrises
distance can heal
ask for strength
a return to health
trade sleep for medicine
miles soften hearts
the roads forgive us
surrender
ask
pray
run
