Small Shoes
Poem by Maggie Smith

If there are fewer stars now

than when I was a child,

 

I can’t say

which are missing,

who was the last to see them.

 

Is it not a crime

unless we call it a crime?

 

It is difficult to document

a disappearance,

a boat full of stars

 

capsized.

Stars lying in the sand

 

face-down,

wearing small shoes.

Add that to the report:

 

some of the stars washed up

in small shoes.
