The Cemetery

By Esther Starobin

Tombstones in a row
Circles connect the family
I wish I knew them

The strangeness of it
Centuries of family
All are forgotten

Beautiful, peaceful
Untouched by dreadful events
Torn apart from me

The chain broken
A generation murdered
Stories left untold

Start the chain again
Search our memories
To tell each other.
