lines for berlin

cheering for hertha.hoping for the wurst.
vertigo on the ring train.wagner 
from a produce stand.the dogs 
seem arrogant,the flowers pale:
the women beautiful but cruel.

..........

i direct your attention to the air
around you.in that park
in 1933 a father's father
beaten with a club.overhead 
you see the sky.the eye of odin
looks upon you still.
