10/3/21

on a jog



smell of wet

midnight street.

trust of movement

in isolation. fear of

barks in the distance

or just awareness of

their presence.


the stride. the breath 

in calm equations

continuously balanced.

I am.


moon from cloud. hazy

alabaster glow allows 

shadows dwelling in

pavement puddles. 

temporary lives of each

splash-shattered by foot.


endurance. repetition. 

nothing but time and

time and time. as

hollow cars pass. jaded

transients. swish and 

whispered gone. 


flickering neon occasionally

or abandoned abruptly. one

dangling streetlight. one 

flashing yellow hush.

one more mile. one

participant. no

spectators.

I am.
