"footsteps are cliche'"
she said.
She took the cork
within her mouth.
She pulled it
till she heard the pop--
then she spat it out.

"footsteps are cliche'"
she said...
"someone?
light my cigarette?"

She clenched a butt bent in her teeth.
Taunting
in bad bitchery...

"FOOTSTEPS"
she insisted sweat.

Then she guzzled
sangria--
footstep stomp
of language--
upon a parchment's
bottled prey

to wash up on
a sand filled prayer:

"footsteps, yes,
they are cliche..."

"And legs?
are dreams
of gravity..."

Footprints--
imprints
in the sand...

A hollow
of myself

she sang

footsteps
follow me

in stand...

Another one that makes my brain hurt.  Boy Serenity, I think I'm so smart and then I have to read your poetry...

Although one thing I DO know I can critique is the idea of footsteps.  Kinda cliche.  Maybe it's just me?
