This Morning

I ran 3.1 miles outside in the blazing sunshine and I DIDN'T WALK ONCE! I also ran it in a reasonable time, even though I wasn't focusing on my pace. I love running in my old neighborhood. I think I found some of the "old me" running around those streets again.



This Morning
by Lucille Clifton

this morning
this morning
i met myself
coming in

a bright
jungle girl
shining
quick as a snake
a tall
tree girl a
me girl
i met myself
this morning
coming in

and all day
i have been
a black bell
ringing
i survive
survive!
