Sleeping with Nazis

Sleeping with Nazis

she comes home from 
a hard day at the death camp

never discusses work
I know enough not to ask

her take off her boots
in silence

I’m home early 
working for the resistance

You know what they say;
opposites attract

She loves hearing about
office gossip

I make a good soup 
I’m vegetarian

Usually too tired to move
watching netflix

Planning about the summer
when she thinks the war will end

She’s excited about her promotion
We’ll be moving deeper into Poland

I’m sure I can find work as a translator
Of course it all bothers me 

I throw up my hands 

and I go to sleep
