10/30 - National Poetry Month 2014

abandoned roadside,
   swept to the gutter,
garb, turned to garbage,
sole separate from soul

drive-by questions
   without time to truly note,
manufacturer
    or model,
size
    or condition,

who are these
   barefoot bodies
settled on sacrifice?

or,
   is there despair?

trashed by choice,
   tragedy,
   or jest

street-side shoes,
    laced,
for their last wear
