Wipe Your Shoe

Three Pairs of Shoes — Vincent van Gogh

Before I let you in,

Can you
Please
Wipe your shoe
before the
Remnants
of the Soul
indoctrinate
the carpet.

It took a
While
to conceal
the Floor
even though
what we
try to Bury
still
Holds us up.

Make yourself
at home
if you
tolerate the
Decor
Procured
through
stained glass
Windows.

Wipe your shoe.
I’ll make hot chocolate.
