10 Miles
March 14, 2008
Lungs like an empty closet
cracked like the floor of a red desert
muscle fibers frayed like the strings of a violin
posture destroyed like a broken Greek statue
stumbling to the ticket table
a face of pure exhaustion and ironic defeat
friendly words of encouragement are neglected
nothing can cure this deadening sickness
nothing but one thing
A beautiful apple,
desolate in its sheer beauty
an illuminating Popsicle
basking in an essence of desire
Water,
the hope diamond,
the Holy Grail,
my cure.
