ELANA BELL: VISITING AUSCHWITZ

VISITING AUSCHWITZ


what extra scrap of bread


what glance from a slop-drunk SS



what rage raised the rusted shovel

struck it on the starving ground



until the whistle ended day

what muscle corded in the thighs



not buckling to the bed of lice of bloody flux

what propped her up when her bowels released



the spoiled cabbage soup and she couldn't hold

her dead-weight head what switched the names



so she was not called what

scarf smuggled from the storage hull



a shred so she could wipe herself

what song muffled in the dark



what glint willed the breath

what saw her and said live
