Nagasaki clothes (Free verse) by Caducus
An all American fat boy
named after a war criminal
fell towards the ground
birthing âDai Nipponâ
and flesh became shadows
sound the seventh trumpet.
An all Japanese boy
named after âTempuraâ (deep fried fish)
ran down a corridor
past evacuee shadows
screaming âOKASAN OKASANâ
wearing his Nagasaki clothes
imprinted on his face.
An all American fat boy
the kamikaze orphan
birthed two thousand children
screaming through seven trumpets
dressing our Earth Nagasaki clothes
Imprinted on our conscience?
