leaf flag flutters shoulders
stands bare feet
faces screen
Oakleys nestled in hair
gold not yet around neck
they can see him there
in the heat of Tokyo tired
from the torrid pace of fastest man through 200
feet flitting track
stride after stride
breath after breath
sun and moon and
sky and earth
all merge and compress
into experience and weight on the soul
that still soars through ache and loss
and he can see them
mother and children jumping in joy
to see their dad
and says I love you
see you soon
