My Empty Shoes

Shoes going nowhere...
Ashes used to fertilize
Blood thirsty hunger

T 'was time for shower
Water turned to gas and smoke
Shoes going nowhere...

for Abe's contest:" Leather Voices"  (AUSHWITZ)

I think you did a geat job with this little gem, Iolanda. Best of luck in the contest. I am sure hoping to get to all my comments today. It's good to get back into the "groove" of things, but it takes work!! Luv, andrea

This contest really is a parodox - lovely words for a terrible event. Yet words set to prose sometimes help to heal historical wounds. You did a GREAT job on this. Regardless how it fairs in the contest, this is well done. Joe
