I
The Armory Tour Part 1
NaPoWriMo Day 2
Almond biscotti sticks, crumbling coarse sign posts
Flour thick layer, an after-bombing residue
Tablespoon of essential oil, penetration of evil pride
Electric mixer speed, grinding reminder of Auschwitz
Raisins a handful, moist eyes and disconsolate tears
Toasted walnut flakes, shards of shrapnel embedded
Apple cider and almond extract, embalmed bodies to be identified
Sugar caramelized to layer the pan, festering a new normal
Transferred to a wire rack, the simmering mistakes of humanity
Enjoy once drizzled with cinnamon, the AfterTaste of our masked cowardice
