SHOEMAKER Poem by Dunya Mikhail
SHOEMAKER
A skillful shoemaker
throughout his life
he has pounded the nails
and smoothed the leather
for a variety of feet:
feet that depart
feet that kick
feet that plunge
feet that pursue
feet that run
feet that trample
feet that collapse
feet that jump
feet that trip
feet that are still
feet that tremble
feet that dance
feet that return . . .
Life is a handful of nails
in the hand of a shoemaker.
