(from the moon series - Camino de Santiago edition)
is strong, bold, charges past three
day walkers limping along, walks in legs
used to the pavement, the dirt, the rocky dirt,
the banana leaves, the stone roads, the gravel
roads, the grass fields, the uphills
and downhills, the off paths, the brick
roads, the highways, the mountains, the coasts,
gets blisters and feels them, just feels them,
knows what to do, how to tell pain
what it is, knows when rest calls,
when duty calls, when hunger calls,
follows a natural line of calls as the road
determines what comes next and the only
way to go is to keep going strong, to only
seem like there are stops, to be the walker
that makes the road and know the road
makes the walker.
