Notes About The Poem

Well-Worn Path of Shoes

WELL-WORN PATH OF SHOES

shoes ~ saddle

with gray and blue     catholic uniform

dove white ~ easter

sandals     dressed in ‘60’s powder blue

sneakers with my uniform

last minute mistake

mercy meted me a guard duty post

click~click~slick

cruise ship formal night

not for love, arm in arm

delicate walk to dining room

catherine de medici taller

well-heeled so we can grow smaller

dining in our fancy chairs

sacrificial slippers – quiet hush hush

toss them overboard

bare ~ love cuddles
