Combat Boots

A pair of combat boots in black,

Abandoned on the top

Of the ramp right by the river

Brought me to a sudden stop.

 

Beside them was a khaki shirt,

Its arms tied to the rail.

Together they suggested

That their owner tried to bail.

 

For a leap into the river,

When nobody is about,

Seems to be a way to end one’s life,

An urban exit out.

 

There might be an explanation,

Unlike mine, about those boots,

But the evidence implies my theory’s

What this constitutes.
