Legging It

the falcon was too slow
you insisted

so we walked
sharing breath

footsteps more resonant
than words

me with sick fascination
for rest & cappucino

you talking to beggars
coins pressed into palms

flashing siren smile
like a regular saint

possessing something
of the knowledge of god

(but leaving god out of it)

with big heart & feet
that never break down
