Dead Shoes

Poet Bee

Worn and beaten rubber soles

bounce inside the waste basket 

as I grieve those battered shoes.

 

Oh, what tales they could tell

about their rough journeys

on my aging feet!

 

I own plenty of pairs

yet these black runners

were my best choice.

 

Now I thank their corpses

for their needed sacrifice.
