Day at Dachau

I once spent
a day at
Dachau

over twenty
years
ago

and was
not sure
how I
should
feel

sad for
the loss
of others

when I
did not feel
for the loss
of my own

every
corner where
someone stood

was replaced
with the
ghostly image
of their death

which I
could see
but could not
feel

no matter how
I tried
