Haibun: Deepening Heat

Liberated, each step lightens despite climbing the steeper parts. Step and push off, she could jump if she wanted. ‘No more checking the phone, it’s off. True neglect is only self-neglect.’ 

Lungs pump her oxygen to kiss each and every cell. She steps, she breaths, she feels alive.


well after the sun,
cactus broils on, and on.
summer heat, roots deep
