running, away

receptors on your calf muscles send the signal, time to go. tension builds, energy explodes, toes push the ground away. rejecting gravity for a second. heart pumps blood out. oxygen is burnt and received and burnt again. push. your eyes close, images floating on your eyelids fade fluorescent into the dark. skin glows elastic. push. abs contract, power centred. push some more. people, buildings, landscapes, moments, thoughts, words. away. it feels true, this body, this moving, this running, away.
