Bare Feet
having bare feet makes me feel like
summer
when days are longer
when I get a second wind
and run around
feet trampling ants trampling ground
having bare feet makes me feel like
pain
when I have Saturday morning
cross country meets
like sore feet after the race
heavy breath red faced
having bare feet makes me feel like
rain
when felines and canines drop
from the sky
drenched t-shirts
they don’t dry fast enough
having bare feet makes me feel like
granola
when grubs collect between the toes
soles stained with dirt
like pour milk on the wound
wash your damn feet
