The Runner



Still i run

though i am slow

so slow it is the first of October

two thousand and fifteen

and still this road i run

for more than half my longish life

with many stops along the way

and always off i go again

for when i run this gravel road

i am not a boy imperiled by love

in this hour i am free.

Yet see the ground

forever formed

by what it used to be.
