Thank you, Rebecca, Brad, and Beth for joining the RWC writing group yesterday. It was so great to write together.

     MAKE A RUN FOR IT 

Darkness thick 
Right foot follows out
into the warm 
morning. 
Make a run for it 
I say 
Before my mind
gets in the way. 

I can’t wait for her
Don’t give her time
to catch up
her squeaky voice
interrupts— 
Stay in bed 
It’s too dark out 
Run another time
We’ve had a good run
Yet—I’ve retrained my mind 

Run first 
Don’t think 
Clothes laid out 
Sneakers at the door
Run loop ready  
Slip out  
Make a run for it 
My body shouts

Clouds hide the stars
Where is the moon? 
I look up into 
the darkness 
There she is 
Good morning Moon. 
Let’s make a run for it! 
It will be light soon.
