Crackling of a flame Recollection of a name I peer down, Each foot is casted in grey Descending, casting soot One before the other foot I trudge along, Leaving behind a trail of smudges. Turned to filth as I pace back and forth- and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. Now, my pants are filthied. Another task unto- Dusting off hands, washing pants, and mopping floors, preceding the wonder of taking a chance. The everlasting dance of too much to do **** I never cleaned my shoes

Soot Foot
Crackling of a flame Recollection of a name I peer down, Each foot is casted in grey Descending, casting soot One before the other foot I trudge along, Leaving behind a trail of smudges. Turned to filth as I pace back and forth- and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. Now, my pants are filthied. Another task unto- Dusting off hands, washing pants, and mopping floors, preceding the wonder of taking a chance. The everlasting dance of too much to do **** I never cleaned my shoes
