I am the boot that treads the gravel ground.
I am the shuffling step of wooden frost.
I am the tramp of feet the grinding pound.
I am the distant echoed marching sound.
I am the footstep of the dying lost.
I am the skeleton that walks through snow.
I am the sickly hack of lungs half-killed.
I am the rotten soup that none now know.
I am the slaughterhouse that children build.
I am the bunkhouse built upon a hill.
I am the father coming home from work.
I am the blood that flees his latest kill.
I am the foreman's vicious warning smirk.
I am the veil upon a darkened tongue.
I am the worm that makes the scaffold rotten.
I am the mark on flesh that once was stung.
I am the beam on which the priest was hung.
I am the past so easily forgotten.
I am the shuffling step of wooden frost.
I am the tramp of feet the grinding pound.
I am the distant echoed marching sound.
I am the footstep of the dying lost.
I am the skeleton that walks through snow.
I am the sickly hack of lungs half-killed.
I am the rotten soup that none now know.
I am the slaughterhouse that children build.
I am the bunkhouse built upon a hill.
I am the father coming home from work.
I am the blood that flees his latest kill.
I am the foreman's vicious warning smirk.
I am the veil upon a darkened tongue.
I am the worm that makes the scaffold rotten.
I am the mark on flesh that once was stung.
I am the beam on which the priest was hung.
I am the past so easily forgotten.

Vanessa Of The Sea
So beautiful is Vanessa
Shining eyes like the sea
So powerful is Vanessa
Dangerous as sharks in the sea
So sexy is Vanessa
Sink into her like the deep sea
Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa!
Mortals dream of her
Die for her
Sing of her
So beautiful is Vanessa
Eyes shining like the sea

Nocte
Hiding from the beast,
From tree to tree,
Running in the dark,
I tell myself such things,
Slow- so it won't find you,
Breath.
These fires have scorched far and wide,
Leaving the scent of my former cinders to linger in my head,
Like some bad bender,
Warped memories encircling grey,
The ground is made of shattered glass,
Broken dreams.
No lilies remain,
To any kingdom I run,
In mirrors of liquid glass,
Surrealist battles are won,
And like fear,
The spider crawled from my mouth.
They are sedating everything,
Brush pixilated,
Focus changing,
Leaving me to run in the dark,
Caught in the eye of the storm,
Hiding in the calm.

Well, it's another one for the list.
Yesterday, I joined the church confirmation class on a trip to the Flossenbürg concentration camp memorial site. It's quite an impressive place, especially if you take the guided tour.
And by impressive, I mean horrifying. Depressing. Or, if you're like me, infuriating. About half-way through the tour, my jaw was hurting from my teeth being gritted so hard. I have a feeling that I may have been unconsciously growling. Flossenbürg was a work camp - prisoners there were quickly hanged if they needed to go quickly, slowly worked to death in the granite mines if they didn't. Thin, ragged, filthy clothes, rotten food - not just nasty, but made from rotting vegetables - no healthcare, no hygiene, all in the Bavarian mountains, where it gets freezing cold, very quickly.
Flossenbürg shows exactly what was wrong with the Third Reich, and why it is completely intolerable that similar crimes are being committed in North Korea as I write. I've phoned up the Chinese embassies in London and Berlin, and written letters to the White House, Number Ten and the German Chancellery, and if you could do the same, I think the world might be a better place - at least morally. A letter might not make much change, but Celestiadammit, it's better than sitting by and doing nothing.

Once again, very well written. It's sickening when people act that way.
