The Sins of the Fathers Scott H. Mulrane

The Isar rises to Bismarck's waist

across from the drowning Deutsches Museum.

The U-Bahn, laden with nothing like gold, is galleons in which the carp nudge mud.

The citizens swarm in the Rathaus tower

and elbow each other for scraps of air.

If the sky were clear they could almost see

Dachau.
