The Ghost of Kafka walks
– not stalks –
The streets
Of Prague.
Prague,
The city he would/could
Never leave
Until the last
Year of his life.
He described Prague as:
“The little Mother has claws.”
Which she did.
For him.
He managed
To escape to Berlin,
During one of
The worst times
Anyone could live
In Berlin,
Until the end of the
Second World War.
But
The Second World War
Was years away.
He escaped with a young
Lover – Dora Diamant.
She made things
So much better.
However, his Ghost only
Walks the streets of Prague.
Whereas
Kafka’s Ghost
Stalks
The rest of
The World.
