Notes	The speaker assumes the voice of a destructive force, the Holocaust. Through this symbol, the poem delineates a series of annihilations from gassing methods used by the Nazis during WWII to nuclear disaster, environmental catastrophes and napalm bombings during the Vietnam war conflated with the slow death of the planet.
