Friends:
Unforgettable Shoes
Pairs strewn and separated
Sizes and styles intermixed
Layers upon layers
Belonging to women, men, and their children
Piercing smell of earth’s dust
Mingling with perspiration of sacrificed persons
Burned in futile endeavor
Of maintaining separate, superior illusion.
Written about the collection of shoes at the United States Holocaust Memorial museum on exhibit in 1997. (Thanks to Elizabeth Hopkins-Kurz for this: I know you appreciate this is light of last Sunday’s homily on “Stinky Feet” from Tatoos on the Heart.)
