Bones and Fire

August 25, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

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