Ran today

from all my current troubles.
Ran today
from all my current feelings.
I ran today
from myself

I went up to you,
to tell you I'm sorry.
People crowded us,
to tell you they want you.
I left you today,
without explanation,
nothing to start.
Running
Racing
down the stair
to the bus
across the street
against traffic
to where Grand and Temple
meet.
I turned the corner to tie my shoe
and there you were
full grip
determined
to hold me
to talk things through.
You broke the barrier
the murky cloud
the hazy frost
from the unbeating heart.
I broke down
on your shoulder today
and i never felt so much better.
We
Ran today.
