tanka 29<br />

birds fight<br />

on a windy branch<br />

as the needle ticks<br />

on my wrist — a moment<br />

gone!<br />

inspired by Nancy Wilson's play<br />

notes roll off her fingers<br />

like the waves off the sea<br />

crashing . . .<br />

beware, I tell myself, watch out<br />

or be swept away forever<br />

Mitch Marcus<br />

lined up at Auschwitz<br />

a lullaby<br />

that lingers in my head<br />

long after the gunshots<br />
