As obscene as the breaking of glass,
Or the whisper of gas from the past.
“The jews are mean” you said.
Dead bodies in a camp.
The lamp shines on the food divine.
You drink more wine.
A train somewhere in the distance passes,
Somewhere glass smashes.
Such a powerful poem!
Thank you Maja. Auden once remarked that “Poetry makes nothing happen”. Unfortunately my poem won’t prevent a single jew from being insulted or attacked. I wish my words could stop these things. Kevin
Words can be quite powerful. Hope the weekend is treating you good.
