Stilettos ( just for fun they said)
they waited for restless feet
born to dance
toe shoes with spiked heels
glamorous occasions
held in cities finest
how they ador(n)ed her
entrance(d) on the arm of her past love
made inches taller
she was the essence of glamor
once among the crowd
he would leave her
to her own devices
not to lose her in his sights
but to enjoy her even from
across the room
where she mingled so easily
to the rhythm
of corporate
confident in her shiny black
her toes always pointed
in anticipation of that first beat
of music
women were drawn to her
for friendship and attention
in kind
fawning around her free spirit
hoping to gather some
for themselves
she would become
the center of it all
without even trying
perhaps it was the shoes
always shiny new
gracefully her legs carried her
across the wooded parkay
while her body
became seperate
in rhythm with the
music
she would smile
at their stares
of admiration?
she could never be certain
but once the music started
nothing else mattered
just her certainty
she could move in the stuffiness
not be obligated
to succumb
to all things corporate
she allowed others
to break free and
dance
just
dance
💃

Author's Note
These were interesting times in my past. I saved a pair or two to remind myself how difficult it could be just to walk in these damn things. I don't miss any of it. I much prefer going, dancing barefoot. 😁

Those barefoot dancers are the real party animals!
Heels are way overrated.

Dear J,
Love it. There is so much glamor in stilettos and there is so much more pain in wearing them. My knees still feel the torture but I still enjoy an occasional stiletto night 😉
I really enjoyed the energy of this poem and the liberating feeling of ditching those damn shoes for bare feet! H🌷

Dear H,
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It's hard because they can be so pretty, but dang! Every once in a while I slip them on just for the fun of it and wonder how I ever managed to walk in them. Take a couple of spins and then put them away.

I love the intimate detail, subtle depth of the storytelling, the focus of its mind's eye images and feel of revelation. It's an impressive write to me Jeje.
