1460 Smooth 

Red laces

Slicing deep into the black.

Warm concrete

Fit for an execution.

Frightened eyes

Compressed into its rough exterior.

Muffled cries;

Anticipation of its dark sole.

Tightly wound;

Strangling its owner’s leg.

Their jaw clenched

Tearing the layers from their tinged teeth.

The boot drops

Pulping his liberties

Stealing life.

Sobs of horror cast shadows

Dividing lines.
