wake up, australia

husband beside her
wakes, says

today
(no one
to mail)
click-click
morning noises
come and bring
news: invisible;
war is on t.v.
but they are untouched; nameless
faces fight and die
(no one
of interest)
scratch-scratch
pen on paper
writes out letter.
dearest daughter,

(no daughter
of hers)
blink-blink
sleep now, forgotten
one.
it ends.

Author's Notes: Ah, yes. Hermione is a genius, isn't she? By wiping her parent's memories, she simultaneously rids herself of any need to explain what she's doing, gets her parents to safety, and erases any sadness they might feel at her death. How terribly angsty. And good to write poems about. If you need guidance on above, it's Mrs. Granger (or Monica Wilkins, as she thinks she is called) waking up one day in Australia, flicking on the television, and begining a letter to her daughter. That's when the Memory Charm kicks in, and all is forgotten.
Thanks be to you for reading this.

Chapter Notes: I wrote this at nightime while I was playing Scrabble. It is to my firm belief that it came out better than the game (I should hope, my score was dismal and I lost), and if you're reading this, apparently it was. So, kudos to Scrabble, Jo Rowling for creating Harry Potter, and Hermione, Phil, Katie, and my mom.
