(And Still…)

The Hell of Gaza

"The critique of culture is confronted with the last stage in the dialectic of culture and barbarism: to write a poem after Auschwitz is barbaric, and that corrodes also the knowledge which expresses why it has become impossible to write poetry today." 

 (Theodor W Adorno - 1949)

Each day you will wake

Mr. Itmar Ben Gvir

Mr. Bezalel Smotrich

you will wake

from your dreamless sleep to this nightmare.

 

And all and everywhere around us

all you will see are wingless and wounded angels

silenced and sinking in their grim solitude

like ships long sunk and seething soulless

with this, the last of your incoherence

 

this

“last stage in the dialectic of culture and barbarism”:

over and over and over

 

Nach Gaza ein Gedicht zu schreiben,

ist barbarisch

 

– your own endless-bottomless-immeasurable-fearful-inhumanity…

"Whoever stays behind - needs to be burned"

(Nissim Vatari, Israeli Likud)

The Rise of Bezalel Smotrich

 “Kulturkritik findet sich der letzten Stufe der Dialektik von Kultur und Barbarei gegenüber: nach Auschwitz ein Gedicht zu schreiben, ist barbarisch, und das frißt auch die Erkenntnis an, die ausspricht, warum es unmöglich ward, heute Gedichte zu schreiben.”
