barefoot
Melpomene Carter



jeans? blue and faded
tank top? grey and worn
hair? in a ponytail
shoes? not today
the snows finally melting
just water and slush left
and i hardly notice the cold
all i have to do is smile
and i forget about my feet
the trip isn't very far
on a few blocks
from my house
to my friends
a patch of ice? not a big deal

ding dong

"aren't your feet cold?"
they brought me to you
they could never be cold
"crazy girl. come have some soup"
