Kit Kelen #274 - we slaughtered the camel who knew the way


275
we slaughtered the camel who knew the way

after Gyula Illyes

we slaughtered the camel who knew the way...
had our final meal today


all drifted to sleep
which is a long long blink

and so the butchers came
and ratatatat
pop gun boys despatched
the village and another

and snickersnack
vorpal blade boys went
and that was ghetto gone

who went?
who is it we'll see no more?
who never got to old age?

someone told them to do it
some god's voice
got between the ears
as in a dream
the voice came

somewhere in the world
it's happening right now
someone is receiving instructions
someone is having the dream

shall we wake them
might not the candle go out?

the sky drifts
and the eye drifts
and the mind must roll between
