The poet Vogel's ghost
Is circulating her resume
Pole -- from Lvov
Poet -- mostly unread
Jew -- dead since 1942.
I have no work for her
But chat for a while
She knew my grandmother
When Esther masqueraded
As an orphan. Later,
She was friends with
Esther's sister Irina.
In one of Vogel's poems
Three grey buildings
Go for a walk.
(The poem says four
But one of them
Was an impostor.)
