Red Clay

Red clay.

People hate that too, I guess.

They wouldn't if they ever walked barefoot on a hot day.

Progress, they call the newly, paved, once-dirt roads

Hot feet, I call them

The clay offers cool, soft stability

I rest my head against it to stop my spinning world

If only for an instant
