my eyes have looked down for so long
as if my sandals are the center of earth
little feet scattering in all directions
like the red shoes dancing
today they are yielding
I limp forward in their submission
feel my toes linger across the pavement
wounds of affection blister them
today they bleed without anguish
red as our warm beating hearts
trembling with each breath
they guide me across a great bridge
quiet yet resilient I succumb
to their faith with fragile steps
today I dance onward in belief
