forget about the sudetanland by Ryan Narce& the sirens of icy berlin scowling
klaxons bleat dead intervals out
in impossible urgent screeches
it makes one deaf until the stomach
rolls over deaf, too
legs and fingertips and intestines deaf
as bureaucrats
but the berliners stroll brightly on
they’ve had enough of sirens and the like
the bakeries are open & the children
persist in the streets & today this
is enough
