Hiroshima - 70th Anniversary of the Bombing
Hiroshima
in flames of being
here and now
is this light?
a little boy's weight
on the wide island
rain fills
the space that was
once yours
on ones so silent
the full impact
of a scientific yes
silence falls
like a mushroom
from the Enola Gay
hollowness
rings out loud
from the sky
i am
become death
atom by atom
mumbling sky
the build up of heat
to come
a true man
without the sounds
of agony
