On 4 February ella sent me a box.

Inside were a pair of tiny, pointed shoes, with raised heels
like in a detective story.

I wore them outside,

beholding the average smell of average spoilt wheat and
average april dogshit,

before finally cracking my left ankle on the porch steps.

I threw the little pointy black shoes at the wall.


They were hissing, almost.
