Great writing, Kristen. This story. And how you create a story out of the grime of a city.
Your poem also reminded me of that fantastic movie Wag The Dog, in which they create a narrative in which shoes are indeed hung on overhead cables to celebrate a war hero. Sort of. The movie is worth watching. I have also seen shoes hanging on overhead cables being depicted as a marker for where to prpcure illegal substances...
Thank you Arjun, I really enjoyed hearing what touched you with this piece. I'll watch Wag the Dog! Enjoy the beach. All the best to you on your adventures, Kristen
I found myself hoping she'd show up with the teeth and a shoe but I am so old school.
