Finally warm enough
that I began
morning walking again
Out the door with the sunrise
to walk the drum beat
of things inside
me
Sometimes peace
Long serene giraffe strides
Sometimes rage
Hard boot heels striking cement like gunshot
Sometimes joy
Distractible ambles that find unusual places
Sometimes pain
Hands in pockets, walking away, never to
Between now
and the first snow of next winter
I will walk 300 miles, maybe more
Walk
and wonder
if I were to walk the 300 miles
in one straight line,
where would they
take me?
