1526, Balthasar Humbmaier

1526, balthasar hubmaier sought refuge here:
nikolsburg (now mikulov) moravia, czech republic.
by late june, 1527, he wrote on the sword, his final work.
oh, i almost forgot, in 1719 the jewish section of the city
was completely destroyed by fire.
did i know the waitress in mikulov
would make no secret of her love of country music?
fabulous kabbalists clamor inside my head.
i am viewing this chronology at a geocities website.
the waitress has never seen a jew. this is the town's secret.
up the hill lay my ancestors, stones asunder.
