Escape

left after right

and back over again

towards the horizon but with no end

the grounds shakes but takes me forward

considering not for my wishes won't afford

calmly encountering my chase after the wind

unknowing lover; I will never win

sore sad hands reach for my limbs

and halt my pace, I turn down my chin

stop

slow

go

step

leap

cheat

fall

crawl

curl

cry

sing

try

get up

and start running again

towards the horizon with no end
