Autumn House Press

Are they stupid enough to
believe they are immortal?

The ball was magic, how it
came to him in the bushes.

I never said Nero was
worse than Hitler, you said it.

Salonika or Vilna, which
do you remember most.

How many Dolgapyats
could there have been after the war?

Dream is I went from city
to city speaking Yiddish.

Remember the one who saved
your life, don’t forget my name.

I’ll be back before you know it,
old almond eye, old tear-drop

One of them gets left for 20
years, one of them forever.
