(Gleiwitz,1946) <br /> <br />The old Romanesque church in Petersdorf, <br />closed since the Germans left the neighbourhood, <br />crumbles in the pouring acid rain. <br />Above, no bells toll for its dead; but stain <br />upon stain marks the stones where Mary’s scarf <br />rests at the bare feet of its heavy rood.<br /><br />Leo Yankevich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/after-the-expulsions/
