Muscle Memory

Poesy plus Polemics

“Hiker with Shady Tree”

I remember walking
seems a lifetime ago

muscle memory
keeps its own mind
can imagine the legs
still make confident
surefooted stride
across landscapes
of years healthy
powerful effortless
bearing a manliness
handsome with poise

I remember laughing
seems a lifetime ago
