barefoot

we trotted along the trial  

alone and in silence

the wet grass

woodpeckers

moles

and

oaks

moved together with grace

a trail made by dear cut a path 

we fell into single file

he suggested we take our shoes off

SO WE SAVE THE ARCHES OF OUR FEET i bleeped

no 

he barked so we save the grass upon which we

walk.................

i lightened my step

his insight stripped the soles from beneath my feet

i prance  barefoot now
now  now now now now now now now now now now now now
