Sandals

My chariot arrived around noon 
the quarry was thickened with faint 
hushes while cedar and elm chased about 
raw scents throughout the draw bridges lined 

with knotted ropes of husk tainted with rusted 
metal rings clinging to the sound of my footsteps 
as I entered the coach daintily folded nestled down
in complete thought channeling sensual needs
 
beyond my beckoning soul pining away at the seams 
a sheer blessed meaningful lesson toiled beneath 
my bronzed feet wrapped in mink and leather attire 
while my eyes whispered a shyfulness hidden behind 

a masquerade of soundless gestures heard only 
at the sound of an infamous pin drop
