The Miles In My Feet

"The years in my feet" he said

                    As 
                    I
Rubbed his feet back and forth 
                   As 
                   I 
massaged his feet with art deeper 
With art lower 
Feeling the strong pulses with the tips of my fingers
Feeling the cracks well defined and refined 
Inhaling and exhaling 
The air escaping the pores
Tension dwindling 
Energy flowing
Mind glowing
Muscles relaxing
Years reading
Miles teaching
