The Hike/My Feet/Before and After

Before

 

My feet are big

And growing ever bigger.

Large, wide,

And filling every shoe.

They stick out from me

Making flats look ridiculous.

They are like life rafts,

Falling to the side like pillows

When encountering resistance.

 

After

 

My feet are long

And growing ever stronger.

Supportive, storied,

And deserving special care.

When pointed, they are elegant,

Skeletal and muscular, even when in heels.

They are like canoes,

Chiseled and carved with love,

Gliding forward with intention.
