Running with Orion



Running with Orion
By Jonathan Bennett

Running with Orion as night begins
And the year’s first full month comes to an end.
We run circles familiar underfoot
To hide from observer’s eyes we’re chasing.
He’s been. He is. He knows. And he doesn’t,
I believe, much the same as I don’t know
What’s up ahead that is so important
It requires icy-cold nights out of doors
When there’s warmth and company waiting
In this, a moment I was running down
On colder nights in a miles-away town.
