The stone in your shoe


You carry a stone
in your shoe.
Its presence changes.
A toe rubs red,
or a heel bruises
to take your breath away.
You never know when
the irritation
will begin or end.
A callous arrives.
Take advantage
of the relentless spark
you cannot put out.




Describe the details to fit your perspective:

What type of shoe?
Where do you wander with it?
Why does it concern you?
When did you notice it?
How do you sleep?
Does everyone have one?
