five miles around

the trail
under rain is empty.
everyone got
their walk in yesterday.
in the sun,
the soft breeze.
the lake is more black
than blue.
more
a bruise
than a source of good
will
and healing.
just five miles around.
i did it
twenty years
ago, 
the day she died,
and will do it again,
now.
