not quite a Tanka; to remember
Little Boy dropped
On Hiroshima, in ’45.
Buddha’s heart melted
As Enola Gay swept by,
Leaving the thunder of apocalypse’s hooves
In its wake.


writing dark visions from the West of Ireland
Little Boy dropped
On Hiroshima, in ’45.
Buddha’s heart melted
As Enola Gay swept by,
Leaving the thunder of apocalypse’s hooves
In its wake.
