THERE IS NO

THERE IS NO

there is no
poetry to survive
the six million

poetry dies
a death
each genocide

spicy left-leaning
socialist philosopher
from Frankfurt
made that
point with
finality and
killer succinctness

no landscape
ever worth writing about
once
the bombers have been

tanks
churned their way through

ploughing through fields
that never
can
be ploughed again

until
that horror, that pain
burned
into memory

is
thing lost to time
can no longer remain
