Bones and Fire

August 25, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

I was away from August 7th to August 19th, so for this theme the poems have been divided as follows: The first two poems appeared on August 5th and 6th; the last five poems will appear from August 21st through August 25th. The theme for this divided week is social issues

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem about the Holocaust:

Bones and fire,
Fire and bones:
We cannot look!
It will sear our eyes!
Even here is beauty,
The ashes of love.
To see you truly
I would have to die.
