Morning jog

I sever cement

crack crust

and launch magma

into China.

 

Stride slices air

sending eddies

like hurricanes

into cities.

 

I flood my wake

with sweat,

and you will know my presence

by the stink of mortality.

 

Only giants left breathing,

titans, gods and heroes.

As I run past the unlit horizon

I whisper to the slumbering sun,

and bid him kiss you good morning.
