waking the kraken
this irregular sonnet
of men and angels
this irregular sonnet
of men and angels
childhood kiss
the shadow of gypsophila
in the wheel
blue sky rain
the sunshine leaks
from pavements
leaves begin to fall
this face too evolves
from fish
bomber moon–
all those hiding places
within you
hee, ba, coo, sha
even the name suggests peace
Nagasaki anniversary
Alan Summers
*There are people who survived the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In Japanese, the atomic bomb survivors are known as Hibakusha, some are still alive and share their experiences in the hope of peace and the abandonment of nuclear weapons. This is the 68th anniversary of atomic bombing on Nagasaki, August 9th 1945
