Lizz Murphy — Poem 57: The idea of bare feet



for Anna Couani and Sarah St Vincent Welch



THE IDEA OF BARE FEET

The idea of bare feet
walking on hot sand
warm buffalo grass
burning tarmac
cossies drying off
towels over shoulders

The idea of bare feet
wading in cold seas
warm rains
storm waters
shoes dry in hands
or thongs laced on arms

The sharp of gravel
leather pads
cracks
broadening toes
the very idea of bare feet
was novel for us
