Unnamed

with a break

of heart, and fear

this journey came.

Alice Walker whispered

"each one pull one",

packed her bags, came with me.

and I saw into the mud

where your feet walked

where my feet (shod) left marks.

i am bookmarked 

between poetry, keyboard, muscles, whiteness:

it is a small gesture Alice,

I pulled. And I pulled.
