thinly flaked gold
it's 9am on a thursday.
work will go sit in the corner for a moment, ordered,
as inward leave of this office taken.
and as the mind spins in,
a paradoxical scooping 'round
of speed gathering flush,
rushing air felt on face, through fingers,
sweeping over smiling lips.
eyes open to horizon's expanse,
a launched satellite,
winged beast screaming,
free.
thin winter's sun warms the back,
with these heights reached.
chest expands, scents of the world
rumble inward.
freshly dewed dirt,
rooty, sooty smells.
first fallen redwood,
wet, winded, given over.
tastes of freedom,
swim lightly on the tongue,
evaporating all too quickly,
as work steps from its corner,
tapping watch, mouthing,
"9:06"
