A Moment in Motion A haiku about running in the winter, composed while running in the winter: Footprints in the snow:

I’m tracking other runners,

racing against ghosts. (Running west into a bracing flurry on Clifton, I noticed another runner behind me. Our paths soon diverged. Coming down Fuller Hollow twenty minutes later, I saw recent prints, stride-lengths apart, smoothed by just a dusting of snow, and knew I had come upon the trail of my pursuer. As I ran where the other had ran before we met, I came up with these lines to remember the moment.) Posted on Sunday, February 12th, 2012.
