summary: Leti's run through the woods.



I was a track star in high school, she says
clinging to the words like a child promised candy
how free she felt on her feet
how fast the wind carried her onward
past the howling from the stands

she can run
like a sprinter from the starting blocks
like a batter rounding third
fix her eyes on the finish line
and let fear drive her forward
