The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Abandonment

We’ve seen it often enough,
you and I,
at the side of the road,
lying forlorn and bereft of hope,
worn, dirtied, abandoned,
so singular, inexplicable,
cast from companions,
the shoe alone.
