Welcome home I read
as you rub your feet on me
an extra stomp for good measure
sitting by your door
all day, any weather
still glowing my cheerful greeting
welcome home
everyday your feet hit
cleaning yourself off
on my always cheerful greeting
excited to finally see you
and tell you
welcome home
you've never washed me
brushed me off
I am completely full of your dirt and grime
completely full
I am dull
worrying if I did good enough
cleaning your shoes
if you found a prettier mat
if you still like my colors
remembering everyday
every moment
when you didn't rub your shoes on me
two Thursdays ago
welcome home
my cheerful greeting
now so dull
from you
I am thrown out
I am replaced
welcome home
