Two German Women Sell a Guitar
All chance, all folly helped it to survive,
Guitar, the hollow fruit-shaped instrument,
With the great city gaping like a tent,
And rattled by the wind like a papery hive.
A rare guitar outlasts both courage and zeal,
Destruction's clumsy and repeated flails.
While children perish and the transport fails
Guitars are still negotiable and real.
What's destitution but this final prize,
And patience nothing but this unstrung husk
Borne by two women through the early dusk
Toward the fantastic market, whose supplies
Are just such toys, such anguish and such fast,
Such numbly-driven barter of the past.
– Clara Brussel (1947)
