Terror: a tanka sequence
broken images,
fragments of Boston
coil inside...
on a crowded street
my thoughts stream ahead of me
black on gray clouds:
when trees are wounded
by a waxing moon
how then can I tell you
the story of men who kill?
it begins to rain nails
when the grenade explodes
a few feet away
from the belly of death...
I lie alone in my body
quiet cortège
moving slowly along the street…
this spring
everything looks frail,
half-dim in sorrow
