“The Walker”

22:50 09 Nov 2010
Long-legged,
He walks empty streets
Dead streets.
Unnatural grace
An eerie precision
A killing touch.
No color
Persists once
He has passed.
Distant ringing
All the sound
In his wake.
The cadence
Of that awful stride
Is the end.

“Today’s 5K”

Stretching
Bouncing heels off butt
Shaking out the kinks
Am I ready to run?
Thumb on the button
Click
Yes.

A hollow sea
Coming in with the tide
Washing over my mood
Trickling into the rock of my self
Seeping through to my soul
Filling me until I
Too
Am hollow

Again
Again
Again
Fire trapped beneath

Blood
The blood flows through my veins
It wants expression
It wants a voice
It wants to be heard
It wants to be fire

I ignore it
I bury it under conformity
I muzzle it
I maintain an icy grip
I cut off its flow
I am slowly and deliberately killing myself
