Poems/Not Poems

In Case of Holocaust Open This Poem

By Eric Kolvig

 
 

 

You stand aboard the Titanic.

The boats have filled and pulled away.

 

The cries and running past,

a still night and no memories.

 

There is time for tea, a bit of honey,

a seat by the open porthole,

 

The evening air.

 

∞
