Chasing up whitetails
Remnants of an early storm
Dripping from the leaves

Running laps
Around the smell of
Freshly cut grass

Forehead drenched in sweat
Dewdrops cling to head-high grass
Glist’ning in the sun

Scramble down the trail
Entire being focused
On each next step

Late morning trails
Smell of freshly-cleaned fish
On my hands

Type 2 fun requires
Full breaths of forest air
Cool blue lake finish

Fast, nimble feet
Hopping from rock to root
Water down the trail

Following the scent
Tired tongues flagging
On the forest trail

Tending the old trails
Between island neighbours
On Middle Island

Run the forest trail
Sunlit tiger lilies
Marking the way
