      ON THE WAY
      TO THE GAS
      
      The woman is naked,
      her damp hair
      in strings.
      The SS officer leers
      Don't you dance?
      and orders her
      to dance for him.
      She does,
      and as she dances
      moves closer to him,
      grabs his gun
      and shoots him.
      Although she too
      is quickly shot,
      she dies dancing --
      a dancer,
      not a number
      without a name.
