where can I run
where can I hide
if shooting begins

fluorescent lighting
mazes of trendy clothing
fish out of water

offers to her
paws of smeared flowers
the bear in chains
2488
doves released
at weddings— what’s next

chewed shikimi leaves
around the ravaged altar
cat not looking well
2485
the great tori gate
towering over the sea
remembers the Bomb

in the yellow and brown hills
pink flames in dry grass

a thumping of mattresses
in the village night
