Raindrops keep falling
Raindrops
Simple raindrops
Deadly raindrops
Keep falling
Falling on my greenhouse roof
The thin panes of glass
Between me
My food
And their killing radiation.
Water everywhere
And not a drop to drink.

First acid rain. Now radiation rain - it's spreading through the ocean and through the air - how can it not affect us? The world is a living membrane and we're a part of it...I'm with you, feeling dark. The oil was bad enough, now this.
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult to equate rain with something so deadly .. but sadly it is true in Japan. Nicely written.
ReplyDeleteFrightening. And something that's come across all of our minds.
ReplyDeletethoughtful take on the prompt
