Feet ross gay

I first read them an excerpt of “Feet” by Ross Gay, for both that vulnerable aspect and the repetition of the word “feet.” The poem starts off with the line “Friends, mine are ugly feet.”.

By Ross Gay Share Friends, will you bear with me today, for I have awakened from a dream in which a robin made with its shabby wings a kind of veil behind which it shimmied and stomped something from the south of Spain, its breast aflare, looking me dead in the eye from the branch that grew into my window, coochie-cooing my chin.
