prana

Filed under: poetry, narike lintvelt — ABRAXAS @ 1:00 pm

running into a headwind,
stride hampered by the camber,
sand stings my face and legs
a rush of ozone in my nostrils,
salt upon my tongue

i read the rorschach patterns in the sand
of windstrokes and watermarks,
the runic prints of birds that passed before me

wind and blood roar through my ears
my heart is pumping; lungs expand and contract
knees and elbows are pistons driving

oh, my body is a beautiful machine
and the song it sings:
i’m alive
i’m alive
