Can the works of love
Live in the fog of fascism?
In the boiling vapours of hate
Which seep into the fabric of harmony
Where no green hills nor panoramic views
Can compete with the symmetry of Hitler’s plazas
And the waving bands of swastikas
No more swastikas -
you're with Daddy now.
When father sneezes,
Dachau odes are sprayed
onto sandpaper.
Linen tissues
glaze his black horns.
Dish rags polish
obtuse pitchforks.
Papa squirms
in a bag
full of God.
Achoo!
Ach, du
Die!
Swastikas Today on Temple Mizpah
The kitchens of Auschwitz
are belching again.
Ancient chefs,
puffed hats askew,
storm once more
the catwalks swaying.
When the ovens are full,
the chefs dig pits
in the kitchen floor, set
silver spits, roast fryer thin
the legs and wings they’ve
cleaned and cleavered. Yes,
the kitchens of Auschwitz
are belching again.

At times I blink twice, even thrice
at Chicago, a city that used to be nice
where I grew up in a lower-middle class milieu

and what folks shout at me is not very pretty
Swastikas drawn on our schools, even attempts at murder
An Israeli friend just visited us ~ what she witnessed unnerved her
