Measures of the Joyful Warriors

by Matthew Zangen

One foot,
a child's foot
in a melted shoe
on half of a calf
and almost a fibula
carried in cloth
to be weighed
with other pieces
without names
into one whole child
to be counted
without a name
where there were ten.

A beautifully touching work. I felt the assured ness of this piece and not the anonymity of what we cannot entirely piece together into fact.
