route 66 on the first day of fall or Histori

Work shoes are always closed-toed
No I’m not scared alone

Work shoes are always closed-toed
No I'm not scared alone

the heavier soles
crunching leaves all over the oak driveways


I am walking down the street
feeling my belly button ring
not giving anything away

a man comes off the trail in flagstaff
two beautiful grey dogs
step into the fall morning

no I’m not scared alone
its barely fall its only cali cold 

he doesn’t really move much except
knees up feet down 

his heavy shoes going down on the oak leaves
he likes sunlight on his face
and getting a little sweaty under his hoodie on a cold day

its nutmeg, pine cone, cinnamon season 
in the high desert 
and parent's day at the college
