An Ode to Feet
by Elizabeth Challinor
Feet
In all your crooked glory
I thank you
For being there
For holding me up
Sometimes straight
Sometimes bent
Sometimes barely standing
I thank you
For taking me forward
In leaps and bounds
In tiny tentative steps
For helping me to back track
For walking me sideways
For keeping me safe and sound
On your no nonsense ground
In the midst of ever fluttering feelings
Inspired in the art work of Ângela Canas.
