Fleeting Royal Soles
Streetlights' orange glow
against smaller other-color lights
-- the buzzing background
of florescent light of a gym,
glowing bright blue tops
of emergency call buttons--
they overlap against my feet;
absurdly bare on sidewalk.
I wonder about sidewalk's
accidental mosaics
and compare them
to my instep pores.
I sit on the bush's bulwark
facing the few trees who've
gifted me ever-misplaced
and fallen honey locust,
fallen into the cracks, the split
of sidewalk of this one to the next;
I dig fingernails against their cement
to pull each yellow leaf individually
placing temporal halos around my arches
and crowning the tips of my toes.
