"Fukushima Daiichi"




(To Japan. To the waterlogged circumstances and sunken aspirations. To the swift recovery of those touched by this disaster.)


"Fukushima Daiichi"


red tears weave their way to the center

of white cloth; attracted by seismic pull.

a circle is born: round rouge, emboldened

with thought of water, of torrent,

of rubble rinsed in layers of salt, of

an island of silenced hands stretched out

across dark ocean overflow.
