=============================================================

 A Poor Christian Looks at the Ghetto    (Czeslaw Milosz)              
                                                                      
 Bees build around red liver,                                          
 Ants build around black bone.                                         
 It has begun: the tearing, the trampling on silks,                    
 It  has  begun:  the breaking  of  glass,  wood,  copper, nickel,     
 silver, foam                                                          
 Of  gypsum, iron sheets, violin strings, trumpets, leaves, balls,     
 crystals.                                                             
 Poof! Phosphorescent fire from yellow walls                           
 Engulfs animal and human hair.                                        
                                                                      
 Bees build around the honeycomb of lungs,
