the magnificence
of each solitary breath.
i inhale the world.
skinny alms
almighty dollar.
why hast thou forsaken me?
fill my skinny alms.
olympus smiles
the olympic grace.
the spirit of fair trials.
winning bigger smiles.
vast loneliness
the fat of the lamb.
the last bleating echoes peel
across loneliness.
a nod and a wink
soft warmth of friendship.
the knowing without telling.
friends of a feather.
olympian effort
thumping banging heart.
screaming, begging me to stop.
not until the gold.
