Two nails

Two nails
sticking up from a pile of slats
under the deck
I had to cross
searching the hidden key
stabbed straight
through the rubber sole
of one Chuck, and I grieved
the loss

But in a flash,
the shoe came off

There was barely a kiss
of blood on my foot. And the holes
were invisibly closed
I suppose
the rubber has suffered
no ill for it.

So it's good
