Whoever thought
that I could do this
unfit and without
training
push through the
marathon stages
blown and likewise
heaving
staggering in the
straight
and turning over the
sweetmouthed pebble of thought
that I could lie
down now expiring
without finishing even within sight of
the end
if only I could find
some way to lower myself to the ground
and stop each
footfall following
and not notice the
tiny heatspark in the back of my head
which says perhaps my best is
still to come
or maybe I'm about
to have a stroke
you can do it!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent. This is exactly how I feel but couldn't express it.
