"In May, Höss selected a little farmhouse (the "the little red house") on the edge of the birch forest at Birkenau to be the new gas chamber."
                          ―Anatomy of the Auschwitz Death Camp, by Yisrael Gutman, p. 212

So here we are dancing in Auschwitz's
Only male strip bar girdled via bones
And skin and steel. Outside there are work camps.
Around them, birch trees, peeling bark as dark-
Skinned toned strippers shed their clothing inside.
Stare with eyes as keen as Nazi doctors,
Inspect their cocks and balls for open sores.
I'm in the basement with tissues and porn.
I've been thrown into a dark cell dark as
The dreams of eyeless men, slowly I am
To suffocate here as I consume all
Oxygen in the air as a greedy
Bitch would Zyklon B in chambers of gas.
I masturbate to master races now.
Sometimes sexy Schutzstaffel enter my
Cell sporting insectoid tattoos on chests,
Lighting a candle which will speed up this
Slow process, and then threatening to blow.
Oh, don't you blow it out, it's using up
Oxygen, but it's all the light I have.
You are mistaken, Herr, to think I would
Prefer to suffocate alone in darkness
Before  I risk sunburns beneath the rays
Of your glorious Aryan candle,
Which I have grown to love, did you forget?
If you remove by force the bark from birch trees
They die, you must have not already known.

I really enjoy your writing, Avishai.. I hope you do this often.

The Shakespeare book-- is that why you wrote in the margin of my last workshop poem "THE SECRET MESSAGE OF THE POEM: LIP IAM ASS" ???? Awesome.

It is I who enjoy you. I took the first letters of the first lines of your poem, it spelt, "LIPSIAMASS."

You would be mistaken to say you aren't a poet. I love this. I've read it twice. I need to read it about ten more times. I'm wondering if you realize yourself how powerful the imagery is in this one? This is really great. Of course, it's difficult not to invoke powerful immagery anytime you use Auschwitz, but I find the combination of Auchwitz, nature, strip club, men, homosexuality, and Nazism simply rich in its detail...to be cliche... ( ;) ) I'm too overwhelmed with the "imagery" to type anything articulate, but it's true. I do think this is one of my favorites!

a parable for our times. like naked lunch, without the heroin crutch. if crusaders of morality were still into censoring literature, you'd have an angry mob on your doorstep. stunned...
