--trying to give a feeling of death while describing a pair of shoes is much easier when not trying to describe sunshine yellow high-cut Chuck Taylors.

canvas wrapped in yellow blindness

the answer is yes, if you ask, you are

orange here is like fire

but this is no where near heaven

blue and black stains

punched, battered and beaten

dyed by the rain

but where you’re going is no where near heaven

twisted cotton

laced around holes

Mummifying in six steps tighter

here you’re bound nowhere near heaven

patterns of crosses lay in dirt and muck

beneath is where lies

shattered stones here and there

down there is nowhere near heaven

walk

slip

climb the stairway which leads to nowhere near heaven

and Sunshine is her name
