Fire To Firmament
These shoes fit me painfully perfect, I’ve learned
So I walk in them willingly
The right height for to carry me
I keep watch above the clouds and toes tied to Mother Earth
My spirit bird, a Phoenix
Mythical and real
Charred from technicolor determination
To fly at all times toward the truth
To flit back and forth from fire to firmament
Delete: A Haiku
You can’t deserve me
Leave on your shoes, eat berries
Stay in the bramble

Shoeless
Let us understand the need
To scrub the endless grieving from one’s soul
Finally putting an end to such plague
To act as one’s own sage, and burn sage
Cleansing away for good any more weeping
Let us find a willingness
To pray for ourselves aloud, on our knees
Knowing we are our own savior sometimes
To be alright with alone
Because we are so tragically, entirely alone
Our Out
Out of that closet
Who knew would come
Walkin’ shoes
Dancin’ shoes
Finest shoes, Country shoes
Shoes proving years of effort
Whilst acquiring
Coverings intended to serve as coats
Business coats
Helping coats
Fancy coats, Tattered coats
Coats that don’t fit anymore
But should
And shall, once we put on our shoes
We’ll learn as we come
Out of that closet
Percussion
All of us are seven
Game plan in hand
Foreheads daring the mountains
Feet thanking the coast
American shoes
Purchased
By grandparents’ blood
Carried
By hope-chartered boats
shoes: a haiku
You hardest of hearts
Unable to be kindness
I choke on the why
Fell
A single, solitary shoe in the road
Red
You are late
And I wait for its match
To fall
