Inertia
Go for that walk
Maybe you will get
to see your child run
like time
across an open field
Go for that walk
There may be a baby deer
waiting along the edge
of the gravel path
Go and hold hands
with your husband,
link arms
Stop to watch the hawk
perched in the Aspen and
listen to the panicked squawks
from the smaller birds
Go for that walk
Even if you are tired
Even if there are still
dishes to be done
Go for that walk
especially when you’d
rather write
Go for that walk
Join them so you can
be captured too
Join them so that the
picture in their minds
will hold more
than just your silhouette
