cold weather captives



my toes are prisoners
of boots and sox
never seeing
the light of day

they wonder what
have they done wrong
to be locked up
this way

will they ever again
have any fun
walk on the beach
bask in the sun

can they expect
a pardon soon
or plan an escape
by light of moon

or should they just wait
to be set free
with time spent dreaming
of sand and sea
