Step by step 

boots carefully chosen boots

black ones with grey layers

and chocolate bridges over bright soles 

secret leather hidden under black cuffs

black ones decorated with a shiny cherry dot

and brown boots steady on black soles 

boots of a cloudy grey material

watching over a striped surface

and out of the blue some non matching laces 

sea clouds vanish slowly in the skies

while we are roaming westward

walking the South Downs way
