a poem by Paul Sexton (1 of 2)
G-Bombs (1995)
Young girls
like atom bombs
leave mere
shadows of men
in their wake.
Beautiful
primal
blinding orange-white
slow-motion mushroom clouds
spread open like
flowers with
sleek movement
through liquid skies.
Memories jumble
destroy and create.
Millions DIE
Millions LOVE
Millions DRIVE
home
in their cars
in sorrow
and continue
on.
like atom bombs
leave mere
shadows of men
in their wake.
Beautiful
primal
blinding orange-white
slow-motion mushroom clouds
spread open like
flowers with
sleek movement
through liquid skies.
Memories jumble
destroy and create.
Millions DIE
Millions LOVE
Millions DRIVE
home
in their cars
in sorrow
and continue
on.
