Photo from Miz Quickly

This track
in sinuous green
parallels the river’s rush
and the runner
with embered cheeks,
heaves breath
through singed lungs.

Stars burn in
the sun-touched water

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary. View all posts by abigfatcanofworms

I’m amazed how you make something so ordinary as running along the river into beautiful poetry. Love the phrase “sun-touched water” A glittering gem.

lovely photos; no sign of the runner: probably resting on a sun-drenched embankment somewhere 🙂
