Kristallnacht

lightning fractured the glassy sky and rain fell all pristine daggers and shards across plains of naked terror

men sought escape under trees their canopies verdant with hope

clouds themselves grew electric yet solemn then pumped gasses of oblivion and the yellow stars imploded as if they never were

gold teeth their currency

and gaudy skyping well before the chilling of warm German culture killers romper stompered the streets

the felling of the sky God neglected the moral stars and favoured criminal stars

stars of David they said

they knew not the difference between righteous gentiles and thugs nor the righteous themselves

the cruellants lay asleep now yet with hearts pumping hate and horror at the peripheries of the stage for they had no souls just bitter reality

the Torah scrolls open revealing a blank page

every moral insight erased all burned entire

a Holocaust
