_The Holocaust Survivor_

Something dies within you
 many times over when they make you see a woman in labour
with legs bound.

The animals laughed.

Or when little kids
 were used for target practice. We were made to clap as they
fell back with neat crimson holes.

On each anniversary
 newsguys hound me – I’m a nine-decade-old photo-op for them.
They write, they broke his back but couldn’t break his spirit.

I know better.
