“Breadcrumbs And your doubt can become Your ally, your fierce reminder Of every blackened backroad Every barren stream and Every long moment you stumbled through life in red shoes the size of thimbles Shoes that cut the arches Of your white feet and Told you to accept only breadcrumbs. Never to gulp the hungry air Or open the shutters in your chest To reveal your lionheart Your doubts used to be the tales You spoke into dark stars under The bright gaze of Venus No more, dear heart. No more.” — Shavawn M. Berry
Breadcrumbs
And your doubt can become
Your ally, your fierce reminder
Of every blackened backroad
Every barren stream and
Every long moment
you stumbled through life
in red shoes the size of thimbles
Shoes that cut the arches
Of your white feet and
Told you to
accept only breadcrumbs.
Never to gulp the hungry air
Or open the shutters in your chest
To reveal your lionheart
Your doubts used to be the tales
You spoke into dark stars under
The bright gaze of Venus
No more, dear heart.
No more.
