| Paratext Text | After Jasenovac Mid-September 2014 |
| Notes | The speaker of the poem describes the aftermath of a visit to the concentration camp, Jasenovac, known as the 'Auschwitz of the Balkans'. The poem comes directly after the poem 'As always' in the collection, leading to a natural continuation of the themes of reflection of the genocide unter Ustaše's Nazi puppet regime during World War II. The metaphor of the helmet, broken host, and ghost as being akin to the morning moon are likely significant. |
