little red house

little white house

conversions

near

those blossom laden fruit trees

in the country

start of life

my beautiful childhood

red house first; emptied

hollowed chambered

breathe breathe………

the rest of your life…

breathe breathe

zyklon b

drag them

bury them

oh then build a another little cottage

build it white, like a pretty village

plant small flowers, warm the water

empty

breathe breathe

they stand waiting

it takes up

to 20 minutes

until the silence

zyklon b

drag them

bury them

hold your breath

he lived by the village with his fair children; a beautiful childhood

little theatre conversion

commander

butchers blood

no record of him hitting anyone

nor killing them personally

he commanded

middle-class son husband and father

bloody murderer

over a million

it is

reported that

he hoped to reeducate the jews

zyklon b

reported that he killed himself using an electrical extension cable

fastened to a rear window handle just 1.4m from the floor

death was far from instantanious

zyklon b

cyanide pesticide

conversion

.the second part.

may not be written

though they have taken notes

the truth can be too much

for them to share

long deep ditches

full to brimming

the man on the tv

told it how it #is

#was
