From: la gentilesse  in response to Message 4Sent: 9/4/2002 11:53 PM
ofcrouse i read the date
and was very impressed by the emotions in your poem
and picked up the smell
though i was at neither place

it reminded me a bit of "reading the Holocaust" or me using thaldomide in a poem...
how do we use such powerful language?
espeically now, here we are in a landscpae of political posturing twelve months later
where words matter
so I am just looking at Auschwitz
as a word
in a poem in a context
in the now time
and turning it over
where our leaders are suggesting debate
I am asking about the difference between the perpetrators in both cases
looking for undestanding
then solutions
final or otherwise

with a woman's tenderness where benediction is not required
