Lots of people in Hiroshima today laid flowers,
silence dwindling in the sky
fell down breaking words like eggs,
you stopped to say hello
and I missed a most perfect sunset by a matter of seconds,
day climbed a ladder, escaped from us;
elderly leaves had their powdery mysteries return,
airplanes simple but free of loneliness
