the contrast here is between the shortness of the poem and the awesome terrifying content. to contain such horrifying destiny in two couplets is great art. the contrast between the silence of death and noises of the furnace.great poem /short and effective

No turns, straight ahead. A humbly comment: trash is not a place to end, there´s so many romantic places in this world. Nice poem, Laura
