Lynn Strongin Munich, 1941
By what depth of imagination can one plumb this time?
Rime-broidered
Caskets borne in two-by-two ten-thousand by ten-thousand.
Ripped-off shrouds
shawls floating window-shutters fluttering
revealing windowpane, cracked shoulder bone
light let in
to source to lather & scrub: lime basins of churches & temples where seraphim & cherubim
burned. |
Apologies to Wm. Blake for the graphic!
