| Notes | This allusive poem makes explicit reference to 'slum clearance' that has ended in 'blood' and 'unhealthy Jewish town' - most likely the Warsaw Ghetto as the title indicates that the location is Poland. The first-person speaker wears 'a Palestinian scarf [...] like the small 45 the Englishman wears'. |
