THE GHOST OF ULRIKE MEINHOFF

she waits in mnemonic crevices
history spits into the void
wearing the camouflage skin of frogs
as otherworldly mourning garb
embroiled by an outlaw's creed
she recalls acts of great terrorism
while haunting the World Bank
just before the economy collapses
& the stock market rots
from nuclear waste
undeposited
