Soul Running
​for Batoul, Rayan, Dana, Yasmina, Nabil and Team Wali


​Beirut street
summit trail
cool morning
hot afternoon
a marathon
a method
your footfall
following in
your father’s
 
neither to
nor away
from anything
farther out
further in
breath out
breath in
a rhythmic
soul solace
 
so quietly
you chase
his dream
your own
of running
and resting
south past
the border
of Lebanon
