Let's Run

Let's Run

Let's run with dirt licking strides,
taking dried spittle as our tithe.
We'll pay the Sun frying the earth,
keeping gift receipts for cloudbursts.

Let's run sprints on branch pathways,
polished slick by cloud ateliers.
Pass tree crossroads and turn around,
downhill past cursed roundabouts.

Let's run past much faster this time,
hurdle the grasping concrete vines.
Dervish footfalls are spin enthralled,
this speed burns off our old default.

Let's run some more some yonder day,
mayhap we'll find a younger place.
Now let's taste the dust we've raised,
turn our watches to the time we crave.
