100 Raoul Wallenberg Pl SW, Washington, DC 20024, United States

Waking in the stagnant syrup, viscous in its compound, molasses for the profound

Met Anne soiling the jar as Mouschi and Boche wage war

Diary held in the family name, passages removed for the sanctity, of a lonesome father’s sanity.

Voided bowels kept in masonry, cemented, to the back, weeping out portals of light held through a crack.

 

Seems prosperity can be found in imposed seclusion, though not maintained until conclusion.

Turned over for turnip change, imposing on the Frank family a need to estrange

Left off to Poland to fumigate the air, stripped of the yellow star one’s required to wear.

Thrown into death in motion, avoid eye contact, and most kinds of commotion.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The voided track clicked into a closed lane.

Hennessy held as operators quiver in alcoholic splendor.

Rolling thunder, click clacking for no gain.

Stationary tumble, fragments of ice kicked up from the blender.

 

Mrs. Garrett went to town on all the *****

Traded for at cost.

Pulverized **** gifted for a glimpse of ****

Snorted out with assembling frost.

 

Cannibals hidden amid the train car

Stored in S.S uniforms, to be smelted in coming years

Vocalizing incendiary bigotry meant to sour

Relieved transgressions…being deemed a response to fears.

 

Cruel, burnt ash floating from the cinders

Red-lit skyline resonant before sleep

Slave life held in mines, and retrieving timber

Sole remaining heirloom, the cloth from their feet.
