Location: Melbourne, Australia / Hoi An, Vietnam

⁠Support with a coffee:

I want to go running
so the world feels lighter by midday
and my mind dances samba
so birds chase me down long streets
and flowers stand taller in their pots

Petunias, gardenias, and frangipanis.

I want to go running

Not for the sake of it

Or to collect medallions, and timestamps

Not for the conversation it allows me

Or to compare myself to peers

Not for the sick joys of judgement
how fast, how far, where’d you finish.
I want to go running

So the sunrise talks to me in pinks and oranges

And the buildings hold up mirrors

So the light feels soft at every angle

And the streets hum quiet melodies
so my steps feel the rhythm of impact
and I remember that all
I ever wanted

Was just to go running.
