AND FLAKES LIKE SNOW CAME FALLING DOWN
CRISP PIECES OF FLESH
LIKE SNOW FELL DOWN
THE SLAVES KEPT FILLING THE OVENS
WITH AN UNENDING SUPPLY OF BODIES
NO EMOTION ALLOWED
IF THE NEXT ONE WAS KNOWN
PARENT
CHILD
FRIEND
SPOUSE
LIKE A LIFELESS MACHINE
THEY HAD TO KEEP ON WORKING
DEATH WAS A HARRASED GATHERER
AS SHOWER HEADS DID THEIR WORK
THE CHILDREN ASKED THEIR PARENT WHY
THE PARENT STRUGGLED TO REPLY
BUT FOUND NO WORDS ADEQUATE
TO EXPLAIN
WHY THE CHILD WOULD NEVER FIND SOMEONE
AND PLAN A FUTURE
BUT WITH CHRIST
IN WHOM THEY DO NOT BELIEVE
CRY OUT
WHY
FRANK A VOLLMER
