barefoot in october

barefoot in october


i like walking
on the warm, black asphalt
barefoot in october.

i like
the feeling of the gravel
and grit
getting stuck between my toes.

i like tripping
and taking a layer of skin off my feet

and i like skipping on the warm, black asphalt
amidst the stinging pain,
barefoot in october.

    my poetry-muscle is all atrophied. but maybe the succinctness is better. a nice change. :)
