Stiletto


Oxblood leather with gold
cap toes do not sway
a sharp and jarring gait.

Urgency can indeed be
felt through the soles like
a surprise microphone
in front of millions.

She sees she is
a tempest on thorns
attempting to pierce concrete -
knowing her heels
could double as
weapons.

Once a woman under-
stands this spindle of
influence, her walk be-
comes staccato flashes
of lightening.

After a trip down un-
carpeted paths, she
knows the fury sound –
that thwap – thwap
pulse like the beginning
of a disco anthem - or
impatience.
