Return of the zombie
Baby shoe
Hello!
Where did you go?
How did you return?
Why all the mud,
Child's shoe that disappeared,
Returning a week later?
How did you do that?
Did a fox steal you
And then bury you?
It unsettles me
To know
That a lesser canid,
Vulpes vulpes,
Did take, chew,
Then bury you,
Shoe.
Only to exhume you,
Plant you again
On the doorstep.
Was there a message in
Such madness?
Though glad to know
Where our missing shoe had gone,
I still do not know
Why this strange deed was done.
Are you imbued, now,
With magical powers?
Perhaps you are
A flesh eating
Zombie shoe.
