Tenant of the Sea
He witnessed the rise and fall of the tides,
Leaping over the sea that seemed so milky in the moonlight.
Gloating over its graceful strides,
The rumble of the colossal sea was all he could hear that night.
The stars twinkled in the darkness,

Gazed dotingly at him and his boat,
As he was carried swiftly afloat.
How long had he been at ...

Eighty Springs Since Buchenwald
Eighty years ago, Buchenwald concentration camp was liberated, revealing the horrific suffering endured by thousands of victims.

missed
splintered saints
laced with dentene words

that broke the sacred rocks
