Monk in Auschwitz 2
Carrying a violin case
And reaching him a hand
Asked what he intended.
Whereupon the man straightened
And answered with eyes shut:
To play but ten bars
Of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Tapped on the case
To throw it on the pile.
From behind the brain,
On bending over
To open it to play.
