A Pair Of Boots

 

Van Gogh 'A Pair of Boots'


Thrown there, a pair of boots,

well scuffed, parched;

a lolling tongue

thirsting for dubbin.


Laces trailing away

like wire after an escape;

the boots waiting,

endlessly patient.


Leather whose memories

are those of old hands,

who remember the stories

in their sleep.
