| Notes | This poem contains a reference to the poetry of Paul Celan, whose immediate family was killed during the Holocaust. Many of his works reflect upon aspects of the Holocaust and its aftermath. Here, the speaker reflects on the impermanence of life and poetry, with Celan's work like a vapour-trail across the blue void. |
