Starving

I have monsters on the bottom of my feet.

They starve for the road.

Step by step they gradually devour the asphalt,

It's almost as if I'm a machine, and my fuel is the road.

Legs turning, arms pumping, lungs breathing;

Shoes eating.

Five miles, six miles, seven miles, ten miles.

Consuming each step,

And digesting it all into a moment of endorphine euphoria.

They're full.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It was one of those days where I was reminded why I love to run.
