Morning Trek

6am. Short Drive.
Walk, Stretch.
Hit the hill.
Bowie on the headphones, drowning out the tinnitus.
Walking, straining, pulling up the slope.
Resting, gasping, sip some liquid.
The crunching of rock under my feet only audible between songs.
Hit the top. Sit at the top.

Rest. Descend.
Buckley on the headphones.
Sweat dripping, drowning out the songs.
Knees shaky, Aches building.
Lean for support.
Slow down.
Blinding shots of pain and weakness.
Lean on the car.
Sit down, drive back.
