Buckle Boots – v2

Black, black buckles

like grates of a pot-bellied stove

on the front, extending further

Clumpy black buckle boots

worn over shoes by many kids

bought on sale at Sears

for durability, for wear

Heavy rubber, no style

boots no child would choose

lined up in the coat room

with the wet bulky wool coats

of second grade forty years ago
