her good shoes

the shoes tell the story.
those flip flops
suggest a lazy day
of meandering
about,
coffee, small shopping,
gazing at our navels.
the running shoes, prepare
to sweat
and stretch,
a long hike through
the wet woods
across the street.
the nice dress with a low heel,
maybe a matinee,
or lunch
with a white table cloth
and real flowers
near the salt shaker.
the black stilettos
tell another story altogether.
dim the lights,
draw the shades.
