Ready to stick a tentative toe into a beautiful poem? Look no further ...
Your Feet
by Pablo Neruda
When I cannot look at your face
I look at your feet.
Your feet of arched bone,
your hard little feet.
I know that they support you,
and that your gentle weight
rises upon them.
Your waist and your breasts,
the doubled purple
of your nipples,
the sockets of your eyes
that have just flown away,
your wide fruit mouth
your red tresses,
my little tower.
But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.
Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
Bilbo

Nice! Thanks for the new poems I get from you.
I've been saving feet/strange shoe memes for a long time but just haven't gotten around to posting them. One of these days...
