Three Point One



Miles in a straight-across snow,

wind loud on each hill

roaring HER roaring WERE,

running in hooded seclusion,

the breath a cold burn in the chest—

how the blood steams in a kill.


We ran off the edge

and that changed it all

inside inside the norm;

each stride is a name,

the chest a poor shield,

running alone in a squall.
