A slipper in the mud

Yesterday I found
A small slipper in the mud
a child's forgotten slipper
Desolate...abandoned

I felt its grief.

Empty houses, lost knick-knacks..
I feel their fatalism as my own
None, and nothing
that once knew love,
Must let be deserted

Innocence must never be forsaken
Life's promise mustn't be put out
The slipper must be returned
to the tiny foot of its owner.
