No Poetry After Auschwitz And Nagasaki Poem by Anthony Weir

No Poetry After Auschwitz And Nagasaki



Conclusion escapes me
slinking away like someone who witnessed
a Mafia murder

and ending up nowhere:
the mined no-man's-land of ideas
where lights swallow the moon
like Viagra.

My shadow: a one-dimensional
even-more-substanceless me
a peninsula
not of regret
but of grief.

Freedom is meaningless
when you're dead
because you are freer
than freedom.
