Running –
an allegory
for strife
for recovery
for all the shards
of a blown-apart life –
this mountain, this becoming
this chest-pounding flight.

Your poetry is really beautiful! Poetry is not something I have a lot of familiarity with, but would like to find more of and I’m noticing that I especially appreciate it more as I age.
