... AND THE YELLOW STAR STOPPED SHINING*

A phantom train with squeezed spectres
lips without a tongue
as if words had grown shapeless...

They stepped down at Treblinka
when the world turned into ashes
up the sky they went-all palpitating hearts.

Did you cry for them?

Did you pray for them?

* Remembering the victims of the Second World War.
