Eskil Anderson Poet Prose Poetry

Shy Female Runner

Starting line she stands 
arms around her self
frail, shy, reserved 
personage -misplaced soul 
appearing unsure 
surrounded uniformly by
uniformed male jocks 
parading runners physique 
matched shorts to tank tops 
exclaiming deeds of glory past 
prancing, pensive
solders psyching for battle 

starting gun 
a contest 
transformation 
shy lady's personage evolving 
metamorphic, graceful in flight 
emerging determined
 single mind set 
running machine 
male scalps bloody on trail 
competition incarnate 

Finish line 
emerging shy 
effeminate 
Ann 
Elaina 
Vicky 
male eyes nervous 
admiration 
mixed feelings 
new reality.
