WEDNESDAY: My White Shoes
Copyright is held by the author.
White shoes with the insides out
Sensible flats for a lawn party
Something I could wear again
that would take the day-to-day living,
that expanded round my feet comfortable like.
A little scuff, a little scratch
made them less white
Incrementally
You didn’t notice
One day I looked down and they were tattered
These white shoes I bought for my wedding,
I am throwing them out today.
There’s something ominous going on here:
A little scuff, a little scratch
made them less white
Incrementally
You didn’t notice
Left me with a real sense of unease….and then out go the shoes….You say so much with so few words. I’m left hoping the marriage didn’t go out too, but afraid for it.
