distances between the dead

Dachau concentration camp, 1945

 

mahogany resting place|cushioned|flag-draped 
beneath a rotunda circled by thousands 
single-file|clockwise 

backed-up gutter|hands tied|heat shot 
thousands leaving the scene 
chewed up|spit out 

I am clinging to the whirlwind 
It owes me an explanation 
As of yet, all it does is moan
