Just In Time For Rosh Hashanah Poem by Donal Mahoney

Just In Time For Rosh Hashanah



fresh graffiti on the walls
of Temple Mizpah once again



The kitchens of Auschwitz
are belching again.

Ancient chefs
puffed hats askew

storm once more
the catwalks swaying.

When the ovens are full,
the chefs dig pits

in the kitchen floor, set
silver spits, roast fryer thin

the legs and wings they've
cleaned and cleavered. Yes,

the kitchens of Auschwitz
are belching again.
