tsunami vs. the fukushima 50. Lee Ann Roripaugh
dismantle the protective scrims
that signal a cache of rawness
to demolish defenseless succulence
the hunger for the liquid center
squirt of ganache in a swiss truffle
chocolate lava cake’s molten fondant core
to feed past the end of greed
to feast past the end of want
to gorge past the borders of voraciousness
until she becomes the monstrous goddess
of binge / pure mercenary lack
the blooded face
blood in the water
the blood moon’s exposed sweet throat
with its lipsticked jugular bitten clean out
mothra flies again
I knew it was a bad omen
when silk moth cocoons hung
unhatched like stillborn husks
from the mulberry trees—
imagoes furled tight as parasols
crumbling to ash and dust inside
but still, I felt so lucky
to have survived the tsunami
I felt so lucky to be alive
after three reactor meltdowns
daijobu, said mayor Norio Kanno
daijobu, echoed the village officials
