This is beautiful. I love it when poets turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. And I know what you mean... It's been over a year since my mom's passing, yet when I went home last month, her shoes were on the doorstep... like she'd just gone in, and they were waiting for her. I think Dad left them there because he didn't want to move them. Don't know how long they'll be there either.

....Ah, I'm going on and on when you said it far better already. --Charlie

The beauty of boots, (muddy) I like it, perhaps you should enter them for the 'Turner Prize' they'd probably win. Excellent piece.

What a new, creative way to see muddy boots! This makes me want to sink my bare feet into mud and feel the creative muck seep through my toes! This is a work of art, Mountain Poet Dan!
