We have come to an end
At long last
Eyes droop
Body sighs
Another year’s event
All tidied up into 24 musings
Sleep deprived
We face our computers
Giving it one last hurrah
The hour is late
The day was long done
Tomorrow is today
I am complete
I am shaken from sanity
The work is tucked away
Done Finished The End
The end and a fine statement of what this day was like!
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one writing about how taxing the marathon had been, really at hour 24 my brain just wanted to just wanted to shut down.
I like the form of this piece, the sound patterns as a spoken piece are really pleasing. Especially that last line “Done Finished The End” the conceptual repetition is a powerful finisher for the poem and of course the marathon as a whole
What a wonderful ending poem that all marathoners can relate to. You are amazing!
