Work boots
Broken in like a tan horse
the strings are laced to be a bunker
for the ankle tread that stops
on dust or mud making the surface
cordial and careful crinkles in them
creased from long days steel toes
that take a beating to drive away
the cold the feet are solid in the fit
loosening the flaps when they come off
like a heavy thought from the head
set aside together and upright
the quality of craft set waiting.
