Poems
Nov 2015
Leathered Earth
Leathered Earth
Our ground has many twigs and
Knife-like stones
That cause us to cry out
Always stepping gingerly about
We wish that we could fly
Or levitate a little
Just above the
Pointed prickly stuff
Down on the ground
We bitterly complain
Try to
Redesign and rearrange
We would like a leather carpet
Unfurled
Around our world
So our tender little feet can live
Forever
In comfort and in peace
Do we cover our infinite galaxy
Forever
With leather
Or do we wear shoes?
