Exposing Anne Frank (Free verse) by Caducus
Throats cocked with Lugers.
Foreheads wrote two lines
Jew ink to nazi quill
Name, age, occupation.
Anne Frank.
Thirteen.
Child.
Writer, (crossed through).
Eagle.
It never happened.
Stars were never yolk.
Rain was always pure.
Typhus sounds like Waterfalls.
A flower grew In Bergen Belsen
yards away from wire and smoke
I am unmoved by that
Yet still, my pen sheds me
on a diary I would not have written
Had I not read âKittyâ.
Anne Frank
Seventy seven
Dead
Writer
Penguin.
