Run boy
let the wind
rush wish
to catch up
with your
motorised limbs
let the
sun set
falling want to
coo as
quick as
you can
race your
weary
smile
let the sky
and the
nighted blanket
have envy
of your
magnanimous
retreat
remember
the starry
eyes of
that boy
you
whispered
goodbyes
to
on his neck
like kisses
like
gentle breaths
like promises
the whiskered
kitten in
your heart
which purred
as he
held
your hand
so tight
you
could barely
stop the
wilted
smile
and
flooded
heartbeats from
drowning you
whole
he held
your hand
so
tight
you thought
he
wanted
to
run too.
Nail
half crescent
imprints
of fossilised
hands
they hold you
you trace the scars
they hold you
and you
wish they
would keep
on holding on
as you
run.
Run boy
run into the sun
let the
memories
of open fields and
flower chains
and dotted kisses
trace your
heart with
strength
let yourself
run
until the
city walls are
snowflakes
against the
mountain
until your home
is only
a house
in your dreams
until he
until he is
only a shadow
on the
horizon
and you can
keep on
running
with his
words
on the backs
of your feet.
'love you.'
Run boy
so one day
you can
run on back
and
take him
with you.
