All families are broken
all broken families
stay broken or go on
to be broken in new ways
all families go on
just as the last one dies
a distant cousin appears
carrying the lineage luggage
like the gold teeth of Auschwitz
dug up at night
by the children born
during Auschwitz
they spend the money
on college educations
for jobs that don’t exist
and have beautiful families
all families are beautiful
all families go on.
