sushi bar



the yellow-tail
glowed in the dark
of a single candle
representing hiroshima
placed on a cake of fallen eggs
layered like lives

his smile was as genuine as any
a heart's home movie screen
staggering out of the desert
charred infants giving off a scent
of violets a resignation
reversed into the tight accuracy
of his hands rice and vinegar
abandon all hope of a counter attack
