The laces of his work boots had slowly
Come undone,
After a long and exhausting life-
They finally released.
Lanky strings hung over the sides of
Pale leather with
Purplish scars,
From cement.
There was blood on the sidewalk.
He took off his boots that night
And placed them in the back of his closet
Next to the skeleton of an older pair.
