Dreams Of Soup Kitchens
A mile or so beyond
The fence, the path slopes down
And skirts about the pond
Lonesome reminiscence
A once-familiar town
Makes the Geiger sing
Of meaning and of essence
And pale sequestering
A mile or so behind
The lines, the bunker squats
Its purpose undermined
Loathsome repetition
To appease the mob
Makes the sjambok hiss
Of keening and perdition
Of night and nemesis
A mile or so above
The clouds, in paradise
Give forth a milk-white dove
Local reproduction
Remembrance of old foes
Makes the old dog hum
Of leaning and of suction
While chattering, succumb
