your steps  
leave footprints  
behind you  
dismembered  
endowments  
of dna  
and sputum  
lyrics that shoot  
dark arrows  
in arrogance  
wild oats  
sown in a frenzy  
empty threats  
broken promises  
wayward wishes  
old worn-out shoes  
blisters and calluses  
bleeps and blunders  
mark the spot  
tiredness  
shortcuts  
trespasses  
toxins  
carbon  
tears  
sweat  
blood  
forensics  
graveside rituals  
progeny  
whispered prayers  
random acts  
of kindness  
tears  
are shed to  
remind you  
your steps  
leave footprints  
behind you  
it’s a rough path  
walk good
