    Fukushima 2011


    As crimson blisters melt
    my leaking umbrella
    and toxic rain finds me
    I read a sign...

    HALF PRICE 
    RAINCOATS

    but...

    The labels says
    (Made in Chernobyl)

    and the shop is empty.

    While across the street
    the bakery has run out of flour
    yet, people form a queue

    and...

    the old man they call Kenbosho
    chokes on '45 memories.

    Suicide Bridge


    My father praised me relentlessly
    from my birth; he would often say
    that it is I - of all his sons - would
    bring him glory, and that it is I,
    who would reign over his enemies.
    He would speak greatly of me; from
    dusk till dawn to anyone within an
    earshot. Many were amazed by my
    stature and prestige - as if I was
    born into royalty.

    But I pondered of my father on many
    nights; I have never spoken to him much,
    and always addressed him by a formal 'sir',
    hesitating to look in his fierce eyes. I cannot
    recall any arbitrary conversations or a genuine
    laughter shared by a father and son - he never
    took the time to learn what my interests are.

    I watched my father stumble about drunk off
    euphoria, as the horsemen of the chariot
    of time signaled to his entourage and horse
    that it was time to move on. My father in his
    drunken state would ramble of his single most
    greatest accomplishment - me, for I was a "sight
    to marvel at, the epitome of human ingenuity
    and persistence, his greatest legacy that would
    remain immortal in the hearts of all men."

    - but it was when I reached adulthood,
    that I began to have nightmares of my
    troubled past -

    From that queer day in the midst of April
    when I was born till this very moment - I
    have safeguarded a secret that no one
    knows about. I have never uttered a word
    to a single soul - in my fear of my father,
    as he would tremble in utter disgust and
    disappointment. I must confess that I am
    a grim reaper - for I witnessed silently in
    shock, the desperate pleas of people to
    provide them with a route of this cruel
    forsaken world. I'm ashamed to say that
    I willingly helped them with the faint
    markings of a smile - as I plunged their
    souls into an ocean of misery.

    I would often chuckle at the
    sight of the ocean being stained
    with their blood - it was then I
    knew that I am disturbed.

    -----
    I still remember the day when
    my mother told me that I was
    a bastard child - for I have many
    men that claim me as their son.

    In Hiding


    We talk in whispers,
    your voice a highway to my curves and
    I find your hands to be an unspoken grace,
    fingerprints designed with time bombs and missions
    that rock like lily pads on an unsettled lake.

    I've been considering my body a wetland lately,
    there's a crocodile hunger in my bite and I'm always
    craving for your love, but while my body breathes
    a bed of milkweed I find poison in your touch
    and our tongues double Dutch like we've
    been speaking through laughs of subtlety -

    too scared to be honest but it's your secrets
    that flood my body with a flame and those
    same secrets that create an atlas of ice.

    I'm not sure why we've been hiding - always
    have been dangling toes across maps of time
    and I've been exploring a body no longer mine
    that brought us to the brink of destruction while
    we often ponder what could have ever happened
    to the moonlight in the sky - it's been shaded
    by the clouds for far too long now.
