Starting From Scratch With Ol' Scratch
Starting from Scratch with Ol’ Scratch by Michael R. Burch Love, with a small, fatalistic sigh went to the ovens. Please don’t bother to cry.

Auschwitz Rose
Auschwitz Rose by Michael R. Burch There is a Rose at Auschwitz, in the briar, a rose like Sharon’s, lovely as her name. The world forgot her, and is not the same. I still love her and extend this sacred fire to keep her memory exalted flame, unmolested by the thistles and the nettles. On Auschwitz how the reddening sunset settles! They sleep alike—diminutive...
