cool {blue} runnings

run two
(point five)
……………….{miles}
to waiting blue,
to the scattered hue of a rising sky.

i am
6am, 
the rhythm of feet
and the silence of
nobody and no
body and heartbeat
and birdsong. the long

slow strides that mean
i’m alive and breathing
…………………{in blue}
and
the smile of sun over
pine and the way the rooftops
still crave shadow for just a little more
while. i am

quiet. only breath. the
breadth and depth of cool blue
pool that calls you, woos
you. soothes you.
