Ghosts

Tiny footsteps of children
Echo through the air
Lost names, numbers.
Cackles of laughter
Haunt the hallway.

Cobwebs and mothballs
Shield a musty smell:
Asthmatic sneezes
Almost give the game away.

A Yiddish man
Confirms his identity
Hushed curses drowned out
By malevolence.
The marching of troops in the distance.
A cramped wardrobe
Hidden by a wearisome ritual.

An imaginary transistor radio
Confirms the war over.
A burnt yellow star
The dictator dead.
