Lost – A Poem

BY Laura Staley

Where are you?

Listening with

Rapt attention

Waiting to hear

The next

Throaty choked back

Hacked up

Syllable, a

Phrase now blathering

from searching

toes that have

Felt the insides of too

Many

Hand-me-Down

Buster Browns.

Where are the

Brave clogs that fit

Your sweet feet?

Your feet that have

Wandered for years

In other people’s

Too roomy, too tight,

Too shiny

Ridiculously photo shopped

Shoes?

Desperately

Yearning for

Meaningful

Understanding

Connection

Attachment to

What seems forever

Lost and not

Ever going to be

Found in

That empty closet

Stuffed with

Distracting detritus.

Where are you?
