To the universe in my shoes:

Thank you for tingling when I’ve gone too far

I’m thankful that you live for my gait
For shining stars between my toes
For planets orbiting beneath my ankles
For the milky ways and star highways playing tag with my arches

Thank you for keeping time with the motion of my stride

For spilling up over the tops of my ankles

For spiraling your meteors softly
Into my hollows

Thank you for the sensation and for the grace
