The last rites of the sacred stilettos.

We held a funeral
for your Jimmy Choos
scripted after the ceremonies
we performed for the goldfish
who survived long enough to be named.
Already your feet have flattened
and you move through the days 
in perpetual company.
We raise our glasses
to stilettos
and the rush of city streets.
Still flats are no bad fate
with your feet firm on the earth
and the future waiting with you.
