Best Radiation Poems

Electromagnetic Radiation

Secretly – unbeknownst to me – you were holding out a light
of hope for me to see, to reach for, to bask in, some day.
If I had only the foresight, the insight, the wisdom to
have seen, to  believe could become a reality some...

my skin is crawling
over radiation--will
it hit my sky soon?...

Trees bend in silence,
Soldiers cheer and hoot aloud-
The atomic bomb....

There was a backup outside the radiation therapy room.  Two patients were rolled up in their 
wheel chairs and left outside while their nurses went to check on the schedule.

He was sixty-five.  She was twelve.

Sitting there in their humiliating hospital gowns they looked...

Radiation they said, could be deadly
if used right, it may save your life
That tumor you have, that's on your left lung
cannot be removed with a knife

They said it is pressed, very close to your heart
with even a "nick" you could die
There's only one option, it...

A ritual born
as radiance toils
straight forth from my center eye
threatening to overshadow
everything that you are
like a bad cancer
that takes life from afar
that takes back what was never given
and return what was never there
as a sign you truly care
if not now when, how and where?

I can't...

Joint configurations of embellishments....

I said, I thought?

You know, Satan has a way

Of subverting the truth of light

Casting it within the blurry

The obscure and the vague....

Abstract views

Of murkened hue's, at best

Make believe things

That bind within the crucible....

This crusade, of wonderlust souls

Traveling to and fro, and yet

Grounded...

my knowledge on the
impact  of radiation 
is quite limited

but I do wonder
if radiation would be
in a brand new car

that was produced in
Japan after the earthquake
and the tsunami

if the water has
radiation, would the paint
on the car be safe?

do we realize that
dangerous radiation
impacts the whole world?

Oh universe ye tellst to us thy tale,
thy megaphone part of a second old
fills all the vacuum in microwave
throughout the space ye darest to unfold.

So then more time passed than words might describe,
diverted by their dating with the stars
thy low cry was lost "electronics noise",
forgivest...

Having failed yet another repair, on the leaking rods
I spit my liquified bowels all over the walls
Retching up toxic filth within 
an expectoration of black lumpy phlegm
forms a pebbledash of grotesque sin
Some I recognize, some I can’t figure out 
but it’s me, spewing cancer is...

Relent
Miserly malice
Spirited clenching
Your demise singing

Those rows of gravestones
Cannot plead to slick invention
Government couriers 
When will your stipulations die?
I say the radiation is hovering
It cares not of your fences
and statues

Leave the heroics
To the armchair pundits
We are breathing your filth
Creatures of doom

Tell me i missed a step
Maybe...

Oh, let my blood thicken, as in front of my computer 
I type.
Who cares if my retinas are being destroyed?
For we are being led down an electronic primrose path 
like bleeting sheep to the slaughter.
As EMF waves destroy the brains of our young sons and...

I visit the bug zapper on Tuesday
much to the radiology teams delight

I named it thus before meeting it formally
my comedic self puts up this type of dust

If you make fun of it enough
it can't cause you pain
it only gets three passes in each refrain 

Less than...

a tear in each eye
surviving the bad hair days
my tumor and I
both shrink from radiation
the treatments tear us apart

contrast for the word "tear"...
