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.

Love Signs
Jade Melrose Jun 2014
He loved her,
he loved her so.

I can tell by the way he walked,
the way he talked,
the way he said her name.
And how I wish, things could just stay the same.

Each night he would tell me,
how he hoped his mother would just see.
He longed for her at night,
hoping she might.

I prayed for their sake,
the bright future, no one could take.
And as each day passes on by,
they would talk about the future, making up lies.

I never want to see the day,
when miles apart, they lay.
I hope their passion of which I admire,
would burn through the enemies desire.

But what would I know,
about love signs?
I am just a feline.
Mouschi,
they call me,
but I really do see.
Inspired by the Diary of Anne Frank. Written for a English assessment task for our Holocaust unit.
