English 450:  Holocaust as Narrative

Anthology 2005

detail from Otherfly collage

Schizo
 
My body's a Jew.
My eyes are two
Nazis.  My mouth sighs,
"filthy swine."
 
In the mirror I dream beyond
hallucination--a literal corpse to spit upon.

— Lori Fleenor

This poem was inspired by the reading of Holocaust Poetry edited by Hilda Schiff.
