walking
like my life was constructed
between two feet pacing forward
breath, heavy
stretch the walls
of my heart everytime
i bend knee,
extend right arm
ground heel then toe into soil,
gravel
this earth
is giving me back something
filling up my lungs, candy painted air
colored in the scarf of smog
and so heavy
i practice pull ups with my thighs
reach high with my eyes
ask heaven or helicopters for the strength
encourage my lungs for one more breathe
exhaust my arms in doubledutch motion
twist my torso for effect
i love like this, too
trudging ahead
looking for higher ground
a place to plant my love
away from hearts unready to lie in the
furrowed soil
far from the reach of sullied
minds that deface footprints
in the concrete for fun
