Old shoe

From a hole in a shoe
once known to be you
I suck through the gas.
A shoe like a Gulag mask
Gets the good air.
Except you weren't featured in any of the
Lenin camps there.
You might not have been fixed
Crusifixed
A matyr as I am.
Misogyny lead me down linesĀ 
That stank from here 75 years back
Trailing to Ascwitz,
a Nazi.
Shoe who new I'd be you
I chock on the smoke
Now the posion's got through.
I've retched up the rest of the water.
Life is rocked off for you,
Indistinguishable O old shoe.Ā 

(rewrite)

You might not have been fixed
Crusifixed
A martyr as I am:
What lead you down lines that stank fromĀ 
here
75 years trails back to Ascwitz.
a real thing.

Shoes I walk in recognise this.
I'm a dewy thingĀ 
In the morning by comparison.
I bareĀ 
My soul this thing.
The air
I breathe, not being a Jew

like you
in exact time and place
find myself more grateful a human being.
