At War . . .

Holocaust

Mauthausen lager - do not forget anymore

lager stones
for each one a name -
bodies in the wind

Moussia - Roma

crowded in
by fellow onlookers
at the Holocaust Museum
I travel the dark corridors
of the human soul

winter exhibition
at the Holocaust Museum --
a photo of two Nazis
grinning for the camera
in their woolen coats

Jane E. Wilson (USA)

fall -
the serial number
tattooed
on her hand
begins
to wither

the widow
admires
my tattoo
hers . . .
a serial
number

H. Gene Murtha (USA)
