Those shoes
those high heeled
pointy pouty
leopard skin – faux –
shoes look great
-ly uncomfortable.

They look like they’re difficult to walk in
though you look amazing trying.
You appear to prowl the hall
or whatever space you choose to occupy.
You’ve occupied my attention
in that intentionally provocative footwear
but
as I said
you do not look particular happy
with your choice.

You look as if you’re struggling,
wobbling,
swaying back and forth.
You seem to be a gorgeous mess
in the midst of a crisis
that I would like to help you resolve.

I can offer you
a place
where you can take off those lovely shoes
and anything else that might suit your fancy.
