Seeing the Truth

Numbers catch your eye
They give you pause and make you think
But straight to your heart
The visual reminder
Shoes of inhumanity


For the Leather contest

That last line really hits hard, Barbara. The image of those shoes has been circling in my brain, but I haven't been able to write for this contest yet. It's just too intense and I can't seem to find the write words. But you did! Excellent tanka, LNC. I finally got back home last night. Love, Carolyn
