A is

for Auschwitz
The origins of hell
where blurred blue ink sorted the masses

-

is for minus
the subtraction of millions from an unfair equation
stamped for extermination
A marred blue line of death

7
is for M-e-n-g-e-l-e
7 harmless letters
pulled together to form a left and right path

7
is for F-R-E-E-D-O-M
a constant reminder
that freedom is just a word
not a reality


1
is for each one
alone
within millions
one line of engraved blue numbers

3
is for Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Buna
each a death sentence
each a miracle
for the scarred blue lines that lived

A-7713
is for life.
a lucky number in the lottery of survival.
for the price of an identity

remember where these number’s came from
if if there is no blurred blue memory for you
