running away, walking home

running away, walking home

A Poem by cricket

chasing rushing trains
barefoot
running across the tracks

screaming out the days
tortuous
crawling repetition

something needs to
change
looking down

seeing your
dirty fingernails
scraped knees,
and turning back
towards home
