ÒOnly the good die youngÓ

 

Paintings, photographs, credit cards, and assorted items come out of a home prepared for sale to support her upcoming medical expenses.  Also, savaged from the house the manuscripts for the ÒHappy Holocaust Ò by J. Zvi Namenwirth and the definitive text in three volumes on Mahler by his brother Micha Namenwirth. A mother-son psychodrama.

 

A new fresh spring and a fresh new sound:

I want that this song rings as the birds call

That oft heard on a summer night

In an old town along the water way.

Inside, it was dark yet the silent street

Collected twilight, last rays shone late

In the sky, there fell a golden speckled shaft

Over the roofs into my window pane.

Next blew a youngster as on an organ pipe,

That shook ripely in the open sky

As mellow cherries do when a springtime wind

Awakes in the woods to start its trip.

It roams on bridges, and at waters edge,

So slowly going, blowing everywhere.

Chirping as a long bird, unaware

Of its joy over the eveningÕs quietude.

And many a spent man awaiting supper meal

Listened as if it were an old tale,

Smiling while the hand that closed the pane

Dawdled momentarily for the youngster sang.

 

At war, I did dream it was wartime yet:

A wooden airplane tumbled from the sky

And rockingly drove through the grass

To stop the groaning, singing, and relief.

 

From the sickly ark came wounded animals

Of each kind one, dragging feet to a tent

While I was to beautify this heavenly house

With grass, tree twigs, the fieri firmament.

 

Then what  did I see on a long whitish table

But the white birdie with the bluest head

Just a blue fire that in the evening heat

Burns on a summery hillside top.

 

Was he badly hurt and should I care for him?

Firmly he clawed my finger tight.

Then, it was night. Blenchingly white

Removed the dawn when the sun appeared.

 

And, examing my own two tiny hands,

The finger that he clawed became blue.

I wrote this verse as the bird did burn:

He glanced back as to bless me as it seemed.

(in scripted Cynthia Bloom the last poem 1991 by John Ree aka J. Zvi Namenwirth)
