RESTORATION

by David R. Slavitt

 

 

In Prisov, not far from Košice, a shul
or rather an exhibit of itself
restored, except of course for its congregation,
is open for tourists to visit and inspect.

On a wall are photographs of what it looked like
when the Nazis stabled horses in its wreck,
which is just how they should have left it, a shambles,
to suggest some of the truth of what happened there.
