Holocaust A D Poem by jerry hughes
Holocaust A D
The convulsed night
held forth a star;
Immeasurably the star
expands, explodes,
and from the abyss
spears a porcine squeal;
'Father, have mercy.
Understand.
Kiss me.
Oh, father, forgive me
as well as man.'
The hapless puppet Judas
hangs from a branch like a
cast-aside doll.
As a murdered tree
is resurrected briefly
into a living ornament of wood.
This is a finely crafted poem which reaches into the depths of Jewish history and brings the emotional tension of the biblical images alarmingly and painfully to life. To be read and re-read. love, Allie xxxx
