Fences- barbwire and blood. The image of my life. All of
it in, in fact. It started in the ghetto, it ended in it. I look back from the
grave and I'm chilled by the horror of it all. Those black crosses on blood red
squares hovering over me. Always looming behind me, increasing paranoia until
it finally caught up to me.
Betrayal- gunshots and gas. Always
betrayal, there was no one I could trust. Paranoia at it's best, no? At every
turn there was a confidant, who, in turn, gave me up. Why would I expect
anything else. I was naive, after all, but none-the-less, I should have been
somewhat wise in my predicament.
Death-
Mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers: everyone. I had no one left at the
end of my life. Not a single soul. Not even my own. No, that had been stripped
away also, along with everything I had ever known or felt. All gone.
