Sometimes when
I look on the
floor to where
you have kicked
your shoes,
I kick mine
next to yours
to see how
they fit together
how they look
together
how they might
walk together.
My shoes are
so much bigger than yours,
you can fit
both your feet in one of mine.
But I like the
way your shoes look
as they nestle
into the soles of my feet
the curve of
your shoe worked into mine.
Sometimes our
shoes pile on top of each other
and we have
little shoe nests sprinkled
all around the
apartment.
I don’t know
how they get together
find each
other around the furniture
but they
always seem to seek each other out
like close
friends pair to pair
our socks
never behave like that
nor any other
clothing only our shoes.
There is
something homey about it,
yet at the
same time very erotic,
as the toe of
your shoe creeps inside mine.
I wonder if I
have afoot fetish
or if I am
turned on by shoes
but this is
not an obsession
simply a love
pat of looking
at your shoes
next to mine.
