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
