Rooted

Immobile.
Not because
Of the shoe-bites,
Though
They hurt like hell
And
She could just about
Feel the peeling skin
She goes
Any further
And the tender wounded spot
Might actually
Start oozing.
But that was
The last thing
That made her
Stay.
Lonely
In the
Milling crowd.
Her train of thoughts
Tore her.
If only she could
Manipulate
Her heart
In tandem with
Her head.
Let go of
That fleeting glance.
She stood there
Between
Flickering hope
And
Wavering emotions.
Her red coat
Gathered
Snow flakes.
Overhead,
The falcons flew home.
Slowly,
His
Retreating carriage
Hid in the
Mist.
