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
