The Fifth Station

THE FIFTH STATION: BERGEN-BELSEN

1
gates
round about me

I knew
& you know

& she had compassion
(alive)

a carcass
a carcass

& a dancing
carcass



2
& I will kill
the fat
& the fat ones


the wicked
the he-goats
your mistress

conceived
like a coat
& torn off

like the twenty
those you ran over
& numbered

& like those
I will kill
