they do not know, nor wish to

fumbling
mouths closed,

swallowed hole
in the...

'Continental Drift' - The Metaphor

In the seventies (1), few people dreamed ‘it’ was true,
guessed by scientists first when rough coastlines compared (2)

Where’s a hero when we need one?

But he was shielded best he can…best he can…

Chernobyl.


A nuclear disaster, in the Russian town Chernobyl,
An odor-less killer, the invisible force.
As the radiation escapes, from the crumbling reactor,

The town of 35000; first...
