feet (5.9-10.10)

my heels are always dirty from running around
in the grass
they won't wash off
in the sink

my feet are dirty
but my feet are not 
I, try
to wash them clean

feet
i will let you become me


fear
i will let you become me too


so long as
you let me live
so long as
you let me 
walk in dirt

do not 

let me sink in mud
rain, dust, spit, shit
blame me for these steps
feel the bit of gravel twist
bite on your skin


bruise easily?


has it squeezed through
your tough layer weak layer?
do not
twinge
keep running
(bleeding?)
(it is inside.)

(let it.)
