a finish line

out of breath,
you lean over, hands
on your knees.
your lungs burn
with winter air.
you've run
so many years away.
you turn
back around
to see who is
with you, who
has kept up,
or passed you by.
the coast is clear,
as usual.
somewhere in
this circle you
hope to find
to each
a finish line.
