Long
Crooked
Toes were
not
inherited
by my father
or my mother it was
all because of
Me that my toes curled like
the claws of
a bobcat and overlapped like
the fault lines
in California. I stubbed them many
times into furniture or playing
hide and seek with my
sister in the woods.
If there ever was
a cure for cancer in
my toes, they dare not
search for they would turn
stone. Not even a prince would
slip the glass slipper over the
full character of my ever
breaking, crooked
long, toes.
