each of you carry
one body each

Janet Kuypers
Started 4/18/15

four of us
would carry
one of the
dead bodies

to bring it
to the fire pit

the guards
saw this,
stopped us

“no no no,
each of you
carry one
body each”

then they
showed us
how to
do it

you see,
you take
a stick
put it
under
their neck
and drag them
behind you
like
they were
a rag
or
a piece
of garbage

this is
what they
taught us
