release (pegasus)

my arms were tired
from holding on
so at last I let you go
I held on longer than some
not as long as many others

now my arms are tired
with letting go
and letting you go again and again
and my heart is tired
and my tears are tired
and my passport
and my running shoes
and my head and hands are tired
and long for their release

the whistle blows
I run to catch the train
and long for my release
