3 miles of moss

3 miles of moss...
was enough
the steep wasn't steep as we'd imagined
though neither was the tuna 
3 miles of curlews
of curved beaks
of blistered feet
and water courses
3 miles of binoculars
dogs called Holly and Bella
of sandwiches wrapped in foil
3 miles of silence
or paper tissues
of waiting for a bus
3 miles of one foot after another
of taking the escape route
and leaving the next 5 miles
to itself.

I really like this, it made me sincerely chuckle. It has lots of skilled writing jockeying through it, that surfaces even more on a second or third reading. Good ending.
