We can run side by side together if you'd like.
I don't mind if you get ahead...
I will watch your hair flickering in the distance and keep running
toward you.

Some folks, you see, they don't know the pleasure it is to watch
as you jolt and push and pant.

In the end what if I were to come upon you
sprawled in the grass with your ears red from the wind?
I could lay my body next to yours!
Tight against the earth
vertigo
together
looking at the sky as we let our breathing slow.
