—-<§>—-

speed
and sinew

she ignites
before motion

lightening
coiled in muscle

breath steady

eyes already
beyond the next step

then—
explosive release

she drives forward—
not chasing
acceleration—
velocity

already being

strength
rides low
through hips—
through core…
through the quiet certainty
of trained fire

speed
unleashes from her—
like something natural—
like the fury
of unbridled wind
finding its direction

and those legs—
…long
…taut
…beautiful
…unapologetically alive—
they write distance
in sweeping lines—
each stride
a signature—
bold
and unbroken

agility radiates
inside her turns—
small corrections—
…invisible
…perfect

she bends—
but never breaks

shifts—
but never loses
the thread of momentum

there is passion here—
not loud
…but burning
…deep
…constant

an inferno of desire—
unquenchable

not for the finish—
but for motion itself
…for the feeling
of everything
perfectly aligned

and it radiates
a fierce joy—
a full-out yes—
…to the body
…to the moment
…to the run

she does not hold back—
she becomes
…the hunger
…the rhythm
…the balance
…the surge

she is life
uncontained

she is magnificance
at full stride

Original DDE™ art: “Long And Winding” — by: rob kistner ©4/19/26

—-<§>—-

….road opens

like a promise

like a lie

still — you go

….

a map fragment:

mile 0 — departure

mile 12 — same thought

mile 47 — renamed it “new”

they sell distance
as cure

….

engine hum

becomes belief

forward
forward

….

flash:

he checks into a room

different city

same suitcase

same hesitation

unpacks nothing

turns on a light

calls it arrival

….

horizon performs
sly escape

retreats perfectly

you follow

….

note to traveler:

weather migrates with you

storms included

do not assume

elsewhere = otherwise

….

there is motion

not change

there is scenery

not shift

….

postcard:

wish you were here

but I am
where you were

and it hasn’t helped

….

you begin to wonder

you begin to suspect

you begin to doubt

….

diagram:

self ~> carried

mind ~> persistent

past ~> unchecked baggage

destination:

repetition

….

still

you keep going

….

flash:

she crosses an ocean

watches her reflection
in a window

superimposed

on a foreign skyline

recognizes it
immediately disappointed

….

the myth cracks

travel

as escape

fails

no distance
great enough

….

warning:

movement is not removal

it is translation

you remain legible

everywhere

….

but

there

especially
there

….

a moment

unplanned

unsold

….

no map

no narrative

you forgot

to be
the one
who left

….

flash :

no name

no history

just breath

>>>entering

leaving>>>

….

and for that sliver
that fleeting moment

the journey begins to end

not by arrival

but by disappearance —

by absence —

by forgetting .…
