BELONGING


the very first piece I ever read aloud in public

Visit to where I once belonged

Dust thick without age

Gloom where once was light

Bone white death where once I had life

Last of my kind when once I was many

Radioactive fallout killed once already

The need for money lost on me now

Mushroom cloud took that with my life

Man grew up in a flash

Now he is dead!!

  1. Back in the 50’s, during the cold war, many of us feared that the Russians would drop an atomic bomb first. As a kid this led to nightmares; first the flash, then the thunder, all life soon down under.
