Unwanted Stilettos
I relish the composure of evening
Which slithers far into hidden places
That beyond uptown’s jarring noise,
I kick off my voguish high heels
And wander through burst of evergreen:
A quiet grove where young leafage nestles
To soothe my breath with deepened ease,
That flinging these tight cocktail stilettos
Allow a body-mind to unleash after 6 pm toil
In Nuvali Park where birds scuttle by…
How rhythmic the air, its honeyed waft lifts
Enticing a need for wanton barefoot prance;
As I feast on thrilled leisure of being shoeless.
