Green, luxurious!
Whispers each strand,
in the breeze,
feeling freshly cut.
The smell lifts a smile.
You stand on the edge,
toes almost touching.
Only way to be is
Barefoot.
With each toe
a distinct
Imprint,
a fossil
to say you
were there
so everyone
can stare.
Of course, this means
they will know.
But if the sign
that tells me not to
can be harshly
shoved,
pushed into the soil,
tearing grass from
underneath,
why not my
Impression.
A simple print in sand.
A little disturbance
of folding or
pressing down
some strands.
Caress my toes,
between,
cushioned the soft
bottoms of my feet
like a pillow around
my head. Not
torn underneath,
just laid on.
You can’t resist.
It’s an urge to
be grounded,
and free
to touch the
untouched. It’s been
such a long time.
Placing a toe,
the balls of my feet,
then to the heel
a foot.
Maybe two feet.
Maybe even a butt,
and legs, back,
arms, and head.
Little green,
smooth, untouched,
you say till now…
Wrapped around you,
Grass.
Now, forget your shoes
stand up and move on.
You’ve left your
Impression behind.
