Hasselblad, Fujuchrome 100f velvia color reversal film

in this brief half life spring the
morning feels delicious/all wounds
explained here, all hurts let fall,
all knives bandaged, all empires
arrested. all castles unbuilt, all
symbols embarrassed/ a fragile
glass crown at the broken heart of
europe-the holocaust memorial and
side-by-side hiroshima strasse. never
again please israel, never again
please iran, never again please
america/ a day will still come when
without losing your individuality
you will all lay down your arms.
