CELAN

Only history's exhausted
tongue's waits on
the trampled
jack boots
for after the flood
of the antibody time
an oven bird
from dry land
sprouts its mesomorphic
green skeleton far from oceans
and continents
to inhibit and exhibit
on the cloaca of straw mats
its true naturalized testimony
and after the face saving
deniers of a collapsed age
with its own fossilized gods
(after Alfred Toynbee
and Rosenberg) cults
evaporate from a laparotomy
of language walls crumble
on so called Kultur's CULTURE
by advanced mad men
having had their antisemitic
racist rants exposed 347632
times time as in a carnival
or Circus Maximus
at deliberate exhibits portrayed
by spiritism's magicians
in ossified seances
of human abandonment
behind European galleries
and galleys earth bound for death
factotums and factories
of lost souls in tangled plots,
your voice is unrelenting
for cold red eyes half opened.
