I am running legs flying like Hermes wings. I am running past, so far beyond the pain. I am running from that kiss... tender kiss. Stupid kiss, wanton, lustful, bursting kiss. full of promises and tasting like salty beer and silky words slithering arm around my waistline making me forget I have time to waste I am running, from your words. I am running from the picket fence and picket hearts and how do I belong in this circle of things ? I am running and I breathe so much better out here alone. I am running until I can't see that house with manicured lawn and manicured family me so wily, wooo so wild. If I hear my footsteps I've come too close to my heart. I am running and the trees, they race me in a blur                                            when I turn my head                       They are waving back. I am running and the sun gets a head start, but always falls behind, behind. I am running can't outrun you can't unrun you can't unring you can't ignore this bell. I am running and as fast as I go, I can't outrun a circle, and I hear the bells. Yes, I hear the bells, runner. sahn 9/14/14
