Only Me and My Boots

< Me and my

Boots

We’re walking fault lines

The cracks and

Rumbling

Balancing

A dance of

Earth

Depth

Change and

Crumbling >

< The laces are loose

There is dust

In worn treads

And I am still walking

Straddling

A foot in each world >

< And as I stumble on I

Am in awe

That the world moves

Without me

Without anything

Any direction

Shifting

Violent 

Devastating

That I am allowed to

Stand

To live >

< That I have been given

Permission

To walk the fault lines

A place of

Magnificence

Danger

Power of

Dirt and flame and

Time >

< Only me and my 

Boots

See the honor

For only us have been

Invited 

To walk this path >
