Days and Nights in the National Archives


     
“Ikh vel aykh opshrayen fun toyt!”
(I will scream you back from death!)
          - Ruth R. Wisse*
      

All of your men
shall be photographed
and fingerprinted. 
Their data: birthdates,
eye colour, proclivities,
stored in protocols
with their names and
the names and number
of their lovers
never spoken again.
