i have walked so many miles in these shoes.
the red shoes have traipsed across new york
alaska
arizona
los angeles
london
seattle
too many classrooms to count
vashon.
lately, every time i look down
i see that one foot is on the edge
lifted
poised to pounce.
since i took this picture
i have been trying to remind
myself
to stand on both feet
firmly on the ground.
