Remains of a day in August
A Geiger counter's chaff.
Gone--
The residue, who we were,
The leavings, what we were,
The rubble, where we were.
Never will be a why.
The prompt is a picture of shadows on a wall. I remembered that the bombing in Hiroshima/Nagasaki took place this coming week, and I recalled that there were shadows of the people killed on the walls that were left standing.
