Sole Infront of sole
the echo of stomping feet 
off of mornings damp pavement
and onto the dirt path of the wood
I feel my pulse climb
from this primitive state of nature
my heart beats to the rhythm of a war drum
it was never a process of going to or from
rather a temporary escaping my own gaze
taking both mind and body
and splitting it right in two
like an animal bounding through nature 
but the creature is me
a being in the moment 
always moving forward from the path
