Life and Death<br />
The dead lay silent below<br />
An old man is sitting near me<br />
He tells the tales of the past<br />
How the guards would toss slices<br />
Of bread to the prisoners and laugh<br />
How the smoke from the crematoria billowed against the moon<br />
He wears a remnant of the night that was<br />
A long row of numbers forever marches across<br />
The inside of his forearm<br />
How strange it is to think this ever occurred.<br />
The flowers at the grave gently blow in the wind<br />
No one is there to admire them.<br />
