WILLEM DE KONING(JANUARY 1935 - JANUARY 1943)

Willem de Koning,
not the painter(1904-1997),
but with one 'o',
and 8 years
instead of nearly 93.

Almost bald little forehead
on one side, with a long 
strand of hair on the other.

There is a little wary
look in his eyes
as he gazes, eternally,
at the photographer.

This is his
immortality,
this faded moment,

after a life
that ended
in a gas chamber
at Auschwitz.
