Sandals

[Lizzie]

Hey, Wjames! I really like this! So, naturally, I wanted to comment on it

The tanned leather mules -- I like 'mules' because of the 'beast-of-burden' image that it conjures, although I think that referring to them as camels might jibe well with the next line and with the last line. Perhaps.
have molded to the curves, bumps,
and horrors of their master. -- putting in 'horrors' gives the poem a little bit of nice emotional depth.

Their slow trod is rhythmic
with a wobbling hungover grace
that breaks at regular intervals
for cigarettes and rest. -- this whole stanza works overtime, conjuring images of the sandals' wearer. Well done.

It’s morning, 
and the coffee house
is in a desert. -- yeah, I agree that this is where you have an opportunity to flesh things out a bit more. I like that it's confusing, I just would like a couple more evocative details -- maybe something about the morning or the coffee house that ties in with what you've just said about the wearer. Then it will be perfect
