Time consumes us all (shoes)

Old shoes, I forget you.
A leather defeat, you, and boundless
black crossing over dust and dirt.
Stained socks bloody buried
deep beneath you,
cry for you in the deepest
depths of darkness.
I alone survive you
The empty roads
shrieking silence
shrieking cold steel
and sirens sinking
into shadow.
I walk.
My thoughts
bury me beneath you.
You, who across deserts;
who across ice and clay;
who across streets and alley ways;
who across night and day,
carry me, guide me.
All the while
time consumes you.
But alas,
time consumes us all.
It is in you that time
cannot touch,
It is in you that,
after all of these years,
I still walk with you.
Yet, I forget you.
I forget you, and I will forget.
Time will be sure of that.
