Bodies of bones
piled up
in square ditches
made out of Earth’s rock,
made by man.

Packs of lines broken

by columns-
thousands standing.

Men unclothed,
arms as thin
as a baby’s,
cheek bones,
rib cages
poking out of their skin
like the letters or the face
of a President
on a coin.

Bedding constructed with metal
starting from the hard
wood floor
dressed in rust-
four levels.
Heads of unlucky men bang
against the ceiling
when they wake up
if they wake up.
