An Old Worn ShoesA Poem by Pushpa TuladharDiscarded in the gutter, Trailed by the way of my journey, A pair of my old worn out shoesDiscarded in the gutter,Trailed
by the way of my journey, A
pair of my old worn out shoes Never
to walk in the streets again. As
my body rolled onto the gurney To
throw me away in the death chamber, My
gnarled toes and feet Stuck
in earth by the burden Of
my head to toe, Wetted
in blood tickling sweats I
create during my whole life. Tucked
inside the shoes, Never
I’d take my shoes off from my feet. Which
made every walks of my life Comfortable
in the streets, Alas!
Someone put off my shoes To
throw away in the gutter. © 2020 Pushpa Tuladhar |
