Heavy breaths and limbs sprawl across the cut grass
Breathy laughs and jabs exchange between bodies stretching, resting
The race now over and exhaustion hits like an all-consuming blanket
Weighted, each arm, each leg, each breath is pressing deeper into the ground
Eyes closed, deep breaths, new strength is slowly found
The marshal calls for the next race, hands clasp others to pull to their feet to watch
New toes wriggle in well-worn sneakers as hopeful champions take their place
Shaken arms and stretched fingers ready on the start line
Prompt: Limbs
