dedication
this one’s for the ladies.
the ones who are out there all night,
struggling down the block, bleeding, bruised, blistered.
the ones crying inside,
tortured with every step
feigning gaiety.
this is for the girls whose weights are unevenly distributed over their feet,
for the ones whose toes take all the pressure
and the ones with no arches.
what is pain but the price of beauty?
i hope you make it those few blocks to the club,
and i hope you dance!
this is for the ladies
who do it all
for the sake of an elongated leg shape.
chase that rainbow.
er, hobble after it best you can
and rest your weary soles tonight.
