At 5 am, I had to run away
From the threatening phone calls of my husband
My body welcomed the morning
I was in control of the peopleless, dogless, semi-lighted world
I was invited to conduct the birds' chorus
My swollen legs began their slow jog
Gaining confidence on the hills
Gradually, I was gliding, in complete control of my striving body
harrassment, tody
And the sun rose to wish me a good morning.
