They went hunting lions/But a flea attacked them/And their hunters' passion/Narrowed to a flea.

they swarmed everywhere,/the unwritten poems.

Hungry, not one word here/is as good as bread.

My spoon was lifted when the bomb came down/That left no face, no hand, no spoon to hold./A hundred thousand died in my home town./This came to pass before my soup was cold. ("Epitaph: 1945")
