Way-finder Shoes
with animal tracked soles
Deer, Hedgehog, Badger, Fox, Frog
and a secret compass
inside a recess inside the heel
to help conjure animal spirits
to confound the US Cavalry
with baffling trails
then find your way back home
Voodoo Shoes
had soles with voodoo masks
African, Inca, Mohican, Zulu, Mexican
and Haitian, the only shoes
‘With the Strength of the Voodoo’
Not much use against
the likes of Andy Harrison
a boy of uncertain moods
who had demons of his own
