Summer of '45

Our world at the dawning of a new age, irrevocably changed, forevermore in peril.

Birds fly away.
The ground shakes,
humanity breaks,
it is done.
Yellow men dis-orient
to ashes and dust,
their shadowy images
burnt onto walls.
Vaporized. It is done.
Los Alamos.
Hiroshima.
Nagasaki.
It is done.
A nuclear quake,
a seismic eruption
as the gods forsake
and  A-Bombs shake the earth.
