BOOTS
by Gail Wolpereven if you apply the best waterproof
there are those cracks
between the shoe and the soul
where the dirty snow leaks in
to your sweaty sock and
squishes with every step 01/06/2014 Author's Note: please this is a metaphor

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/06/14 at 10:34 PM Hi Gail. I think this works well as taken at face value or as a metaphor for something deeper, perhaps life itself, no? Either way, superbly stated. :) |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 01/07/14 at 10:32 PM Quite the visual piece, Gail. Loved the use of "squishes" - some words give a poem that extra motion that makes me want to read it again. Thanks. |
