no breath to hold
close to the dark the air flies past
gravity drags and legs crank to burn
uphill and through around over
prepositions don't listen but settle in their action
leaning in
dig toward the distance and star the miles
nightsky opens to cool the explosions
wait until the arms run out
go until the muscles shout and turn thick
lake takes its time swallowing the sun
backaround nowhere to be recovered
this is the space to break into
throw off the doubts and cracks
stretch toward whole and full and forward
into the possible
breaking through challenge limit fear
waking into action
faster than giving up
pushing into whatif
nearly there and proud of streaming
headlights sweep and freeze action
tracking seconds of movement in splitscreen
inside outside whatyousay
creating reality in fluid strokes
breathing draws in all hope
ragged out the followthrough
stretching the long line toward else

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
