Walking

with purpose

By Harper LewisPublished 4 months ago Updated 4 months ago 1 min read

I've grown bored with how I walk;

it's time to change my stride,

quit lunging forth like a truck

charging through a world engulfed in fire.

It's time to pull my shoulders back

and slow into a prowl, stroll this world

with hip-shot grace and barely touch the ground.
