my future
how many years now since
the last holocaust
and you smile
the question
is irrelevant if
the ovens still burn
you want names
and all i have are pictures
and the man across
the street believes that
every wall should
be rebuilt
his eyes are black and
his wrists bear
no scars
his wife hides the
children
what he holds is my future
and in his hands
my future narrows down
to nothing more than
a locked door
covered in
blood
