There is an ache deep in
the flesh of my feet,
soles burning with miles of
walking, running, seeking,
bones wearied from the
disproportional weight of my
ambition-filled body.

I long to sink into
a wide pool of cool water,
to hear the satisfying hiss of
their burning being doused.

To be turned upside down,
heels over head,
forgiving them their task
for a suspended moment in time.

To be laid upon a bed of
sheepskin and pillowing down,
their pulsing coaxed to calm,

as I gaze up at storytelling
clouds and stars,
allowing myself to be discovered
through an expedition of rest.

some winding, some straight,
some overgrown, some unobscured…
