CallousesA Poem by manglerrrWe wait for it we long for dirty feet, blackened with the freeness of summer like babies waiting to exit the womb except instead of being in a place of warmth we wait in the cold, wanting to be free it comes, and we change we are wilder more free there is love in our eyes caused by the swaying summer breeze and our soles are black and we are alive and then our warmth turns to cold we battle with the chill hating the loneliness our feet are clean, but there are still callouses to remind us of what is gone and it is cold but the cold becomes our friend it wakes us up it makes us feel alive again we learn to love the sting and soon enough you don’t miss the summer breeze so much anymore. The cold has cured me of the summer, just like time has cured me of you. j.r. © 2015 manglerrrAuthor's Note
