An exercise in trois-par-huit.


Undercaffeinated

Slow the beat
Of heavy tired feet
That pound against the unyielding track

And the fog-shrouded brain insists on drifting back
To the blithesome coffee, abandoned, growing cold,

The mug listless fingers yearned to hold
That now must wait its while:
One more mile

I love the rhythm of this. Somehow it feels like running. There's some undulating pulse that reminds me of the early morning run.

An excellent trois-par-huit. I think the form lends itself so nicely to this contemplation.
