Bare

Finally, I can see your toes 
Where I always assumed they'd be.
Above the ground, resting there
Two feet below your knee

Finally, I can see your toes
For socks don't lock them in.
They're free to dance, free to tap-
One foot below your shin.

Finally, I can see your toes
And how they make me laugh.
Little, faceless, and exposed
Barely below your calf.

Finally, your toes are loose!
I hope to you it's sweet 
To feel the breeze, to know a life
Lived newly in barefeet.
