Trifling With My Toes

November 29, 2021
By Anonymous

I wore flip flops outside

And the winter gnawed my toes raw

One by one

I was too buried to notice

Because the cold made them feel warm

Motherly how winter clang to them

Until I stepped in the water

The water scorched my toes and vilified them for forgetting

Im sorry they screamed

Was it their fault winter was so enthralling

I began to bed with my toes for water to stop the agony

But she was set

And torched my toes
