there’s an infection in my achilles’ tendon

where the arrow pierced my heel

the endless path

i trudged barefoot

the broken arrow dragging lines

in the dry dirt:

my trail

i knew the moment i released the arrow,

and let it sink into the immortal river,

my soul would be lost forever.

 

i figured i had long enough to see the stars again.
