Mon aube
and it feels so easy like
slipping on a second skin, or
nothing at all, really -
something that comes so naturally to you
as in the darkness you
pull on the shoes that
you have moulded to fit the shape of your feet,
strap on the watch that you leave
in the same spot on your bedside table
and then moments later - footsteps
(silently) on the pavement,
while everyone else sleeps behind...
The Beauty of the Race by Dr. George Sheehan
The race is the beauty part. Practice is fun and laughs, even with those interval halves. And there are those days when you don’t even know you are running, like when you drive to work and don’t remember passing familiar places along the way.

Trying to be strong

And there is no escape.
And the demons come for you in the night.
But you are locked in a corner
(of your imprisoned mind)
because of your rotting foot.
And your heart cries little shards

Help is (not) needed
The morning sun that used to be beautiful threatens behind the mountains. I lie awake in the stillness of the dark hours as a cloak of desolation descends upon me like a blanket to suffocate a child.
