Grateful Though My Socks Are Wet

A poem about feeling the elements with your feet

One Hundred Days of Gratitude. Six.

A beach inside each boot inside thick-mud-suction cups that gobble up each ankle every time they touch the ground.

What is this heaven you’ve found, with your feet?

This hint of life we’ve collectively left behind. It’s funny how you find (when you’re lost in the wilderness) your mind.

— hiding in wet socks this whole time.
