ANAPHORICALLY RUNNING

 🦜🐾

I ran to the running river

Running as fast as I could

I even ran over a cruel thorn

Tearing my heel

With my blood running out my body

I couldn't run anymore

When I reached the running river

I tried to run into the running water

The water unlike land failed to carry me

It let every step of me down

I gave up letting the water run over me

The chillness run over me

Running a shiver down my body

I ducked under the water

Burying me in loosely packed molecules

I let the river run above me

Rising above the now faster current

I let myself out the water

When my body let an achooo

Oh no! I might be running a temperature

I should run home and then into warm clothes

But damn it! I eventually ran a fever.
