Lose the Socks

with feet bared
there is gravel
between your toes
for a short moment
before your feet hit
the grass and move
then onto the porch
and into the house

your tennis shoes
sit hidden under the
coffee table as your
tender pads are com-
forted by plush carpet
and alternately cooled
by the wood flooring
you are searching for
the purple foot bath

once soaked, towel
dried and lotioned
your feet make their
way up the stairs
pausing momentarily
as the cat falls upon
their soft nakedness
purring and rubbing
before darting away

your slippers are
lonely inside
the closet while
your toes are busy
tracing a pattern
in his chest hair
before sliding down
between his legs to
tease his hardness
slipping even further
down getting tangled
in the bed clothes
searching for his socks
