F a e r n – I n – T h e – W o r k s

what do you do with your old shoes?

so easy to toss aside,

to belittle,
to de-magnify
all the special times these shoes
supported.
only to be used and tossed.
re-used and thrown.

gravel, cobble, cement, asphalt.
twigs, barks, dirt, leaves.
grasses.
water.

leaving and maneuvering-
transparent un-nerves, pretend
collecting supposed circumstances.

questioning the trustworthiness of created blocks,

re-visiting memories sprouted,

all by finding an old shoe.
