Her heels are black and charred
Not because of the lawns lack of moisture
It is softer than the bed floral jumper she sports
Crumbling into little pieces, the tips of her toes are falling off
The way a burnt log turns into a pile of small, dark clusters
Sitting at the bottom of the fire place
It is only used at christmas time
Stomping into the snow with blackened heels
Dripping sweat, she is so warm
