Sprint

In days your body will break,

skin will crack like a stuttering laughter,

like antique walls struck by time.

Don’t choke in fear, but smile in wonder,

for you too are capable of housing thunder

so let them ride on like fire chariots reaching for a mark.

In days your body will grow roots,

branches will sprout out like garden seeds

showered by a watering can.

See how elastic you have become,

durable  like God’s promises,

able to bring forth another body without tearing into mourning

Allow God take a stroll,

for your body too is holy land

So please let Him ovbserve His pilgrimage.
