Wind down

After the speed of the day

Stop.

Not the full frontal, foot on brake
where the whole body jerks

It is a soft slow down
where muscles slow in
motions that are replayed.

After the day
where speed, dodging
between people
there is no speed bump, not light to tell you to

Stop
and end this.

So the day moves on
in acceleration
until the hours drift
and each appendage calls it a night
and you wind down

until you stop.
