Thank you for that, Kiya - it's not many brave the wilds of my portfolio to discover my little 8-line poems, so it's wonderful to have some feedback on them. Much appreciated!
Wonderful poem that links footprints to bits and pieces of our memories over the years.
As we get older, we do leave a mark behind - footprints if you will - and even as they fade away, they'll always linger and be a reminder of what we once were.
Thanks for sharing this poignant piece with us, and keep on writing!
Betrayed by the whorls of their own individuality
imprinted with the marks of their crime
these patterns pointing fingers at perpetrators
resolving to self confession in time.
Oh, how ironic that the means of squeezing the trigger
should now be the witness sublime
and all alibis rendered suspect and false
in these admissions of presence and crime.
