after_a_while
mon of not wearing shoes
after weeks of not wearing shoes after
a month of wearing shoes only twice for a total of a few hours and only so i could attend
after being in the garden in the late afternoon
after digging the potatoes without any tools after dodging the pumpkins running rows of corn picking pumpkins twisting around plants
after walking all over the orchard even where i know there is broken glass i remember how all my life i have loved this not wearing shoes just the earth and skin and nothing and no one to say otherwise and i remember once when i was really little dropping a glass bottle from the second floor window onto the cement below and then running down the stairs running outside walking my naked feet on the green sharp pieces just to see if they would cut and how they didn't and how i thought i was cool cause Jesus could walk on water but i could walk on glass
after a while learning that indeed glass can enter into the flesh

after a while of not having a bath after a while of washing my feet in the creek after a while i'll put on some shoes dress up and go to town maybe but not yet not till the summer ends
