Poem About Abraham Sutzkever's Child

Mameh is looking at the men with the big black boots

She is not blinking and I,

I am so hungry

I ask for something to eat

Tug at her pant leg

and I win a fish

The fish tastes good and I bite in

It is slimy on my teeth

I begin to chew

But there is a loud sound

Something warm hits me in the head

There is ringing and my fish has no taste

I go into the big hole without Mameh

She is not blinking and I,

I am not hungry anymore
