Notes About The Poem
"shoe soles are poetic...fight me"

Sole of My Soul

These shoes no longer fit
Torn stitch
Missing sole
Floating down sun drenched river
I ponder if retrieving It would suit my purpose
Or further enslave the symbolic liberation from foot
Oppressed by lace and tread
Left to walk earth and root
As I force it up between my toes
Leaving trails of heel
Scent of pheromone
Torn shirt
There is nothing to sniff out
Or parties to gather
Only reflective soul
A vestige of the whole
Alongside an old shoe
And buoyant insert

Hi, Andreanna: Well, everything about this poem resonates with the soul. It's excellent penning with the inkwell. It is one of my favs. Best of Wishes, William
