            [0] => From meditation on a flower / you think more flowers will be born / of your mind? Eichmann meditated / on music and played on his /  / victims' limbs the symphony / of perdition. I have watched / the tendrils of flowers with less strength / than a child's fingers opening /  / the hard rock. You know what flowers / do best on. I think how the bodies / of the centuries have been rendered down / that this one should emerge, innocent of compassion.|c
