Push.

The other day
I drew a face
on the bottom of my shoe,
on the soul.

It was a hard looking face
with a strong chin (‘so handsome’ my mother would say)
and a stiff upper lip.
No tongue.

But there was a sad softness in his eyes.
A meloncholy something
to his monotone brow,
that made me wonder
how he felt
getting stood on
every day.

    You are exploding right now.
    So inspired, keep pushing; keep writing!

    Sarah – Sorry if it makes you sad.

    krkbaker – Thanks. I’m trying. There’s other things,
    phrases and words, flying around in my head at
    the moment
