when you were young,
you were a Nazi.
you thought you were a soldier.
now at 88 years old,
are you still a Nazi?
the records, the maps,
they still hold your crime.
the mountains of glasses,
pulled gold fillings,
and bones are gone?
or do they weigh on your heart?
have you grown a heart?
how long will it beat freedom?
did it ever?
do we choose to hear your whispered apologies and explanations
over the din of her history’s echoes?

Who among us
Does not carry
Sins from our youth?
That boy who wore my flesh
Was a foolish,
Fearful mess.
interesting perspective, thank you!
