The first one shone
bright as hope dawning
on an autumn day
and empty as I could have wished
except for the man
tending the flowers and trees
who one morning walked up
bashfully high-heeled sandals
dangling from thin leather straps
and asked what size shoes I wore
I bought these for my girl
he said but she left
they’re brand new
so before I throw them away
I thought I’d offer them to you
