When we say,
“Never again!”
it is not performative,
but also
we have 16 million Understandings.

There is a Welling
that comes with the phrase—
    Fear and
    Pride and
    Sorrow and
of course, the ever-present
    Weariness and
    Wariness.

“Never again!”
Six million of us, and also
    millions of Others.

It was Never just about us.
