The Red Shoes Joyce Lussier

A pair of red shoes

There is a pair of red shoes
number twenty-four
nearly new:
on the inner sole can still be seen brand factory
"Schulze Monaco."
There is a pair of red shoes
atop a pile of shoes to children
Buckenwald
were a child of three and a half years
who knows what color his eyes were burned in ovens

but his cry the
can imagine you know how the children weep
even his feet can imagine them
shoe number twenty-four
for 'eternity
because the legs of the dead children do not grow.
There is a pair of red shoes to
Buckenwald

almost new because the feet of the dead children do not consume
soles.

Joyce Lussier (Florence 1912 - Rome 1998).
