“After Aushwitz there is no more poetry”<\/p>\n
— Adorno<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These are hard times.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The land frozen under the weight<\/p>\n
of a white littered from above<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The rivers holding their breath<\/p>\n
blue and still in patient repose<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The oceans as always watch in retreat<\/p>\n
to the depths where death is unknown<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Man has tamed nature by distempered dance<\/p>\n
unhinged from himself, the mirror holds his story.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What left to do?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pen to paper<\/p>\n
paper to fire<\/p>\n
a little light<\/p>\n
a shadow cast,<\/p>\n
so we may know<\/p>\n
we are still there<\/p>\n
and can be<\/p>\n
scared of ourselves.<\/p>\n
