Auschwitz Visit (1)



Holocaust can be denied
And that denial
Tattooed
On the sole
Of each shoe
Tossed to the pile
Woven
Through prayer shawls
Stripped
From Rabbis’ shoulders
Wound
Around wire frame
Tangled wire frames
Of glasses
Clouded by gas
Plaited
Into ponytails
Shaved
From bowed heads
Cowed heads
Written
In indelible ink
On imperishable parchment
Hung
At cardinal points
From rolled wire
One word
NO!
All who guard fences
Deny themselves
And say
No
More
