Hirosima

by PunkyThespian - Libra

One touch, one eye, one hand clapping
Racing to be the first sun.
A big apple pie in the sky, that tastes
Like falling down concrete stairs
Or God's closed fist.

Your tools burn my comfort at night
When the trees eclipse the stars
With shadows of the cold war
And rumors of a fallen winter.

The conforming force that shaped my cradle
My face is fused to the sound of your laughing
Letting smoke-filled rooms rule me
With the new religion of the sub-atomic
The vibrating nothings that bind us still.
