ONCE THE GAS WAS POURED IN
LYN LIFSHIN
It came from
the bottom
and in the
terrible struggle,
the lights were
switched off.
No one could
see so the
strongest people
tried to climb
higher, realized
the higher they
got the more
air there
was. Or they
tried to push
their way to
the door, push
their way out.
A death struggle.
Which is why
the youngest
and old were
always at
the bottom
