Brendan's Boots

Prompt: Somebody in the room’s shoes

Chunky and grimy rubber soles

complement the rips.

Ravaged. Ragged. Worn away.

Fading but sturdy.

Still robust.

Twenty shining, golden eyes.

How did they get so worn?

What so deeply penetrated

the thick hide,

exposing just a sliver of

the solid, silver bone?
