Hello,
I'm a newbie. However, no need to be too gentile and kind... :-)
Thanks for any and all help.
Generation Next
I am a prayer,risen
from tattooed numbers
burned blue into the future.
Auschwitz and Dachau,
Europes's shtetles and D.P. camps.
Death inhaled from grey ashes.
I am the scarred remnants,
burdened with life,
attached by birth to burial
grounds, fragile memorials
bone mountains.
Kneeling on holy ground,
stilled breath, smoky air,
I carry the hallowed memories
into generation next.
Blessed. Cursed. Eternal.
