two feet carried me further and further away
away from him, from memories, from myself
two feet carried me to the banks of the river
river of tears, rivers of fear,
     Tennessee River
               and a fresh new start
two feet carried me, but the mouth of memories
came flooding back. his mouth. mine. and two feet
two feet cemented roots deep in the presence of him
two feet, whiskey neat, and i can still taste the loss
     of him.
