Play

I’ve been on the run

But a hallmark of my running is

It’s a secret to me 

I love to keep a little secret from myself 

Sometimes

And so I seem not to know why

I’m diving headlong into you

Making myself cozy

Gathering inertia

But then I arrive 

Where I was heading all the time

That’s when I find out 

About the running

That’s where I hold myself

In the home of my own arms

In the hall of my own heart

And I laugh and cry

Because i’m so mischievous 

Little trickster me

Playing this hide-and-seek

Just as innocently 

As I ever have and always will
