A young poet once said that there’s
no real difference between death
by spear and death by nuclear bomb.
Both weapons “are just technology,”
and a death is just a death.
But the “survivors” of Hiroshima
might disagree, and many of them
might have wished someone with a
spear would come along and put
them sooner out of their misery.

Elise Blackwell
tweets an article
that mentions, in lines
from Nikola Madzirov,
“. . . the Earth was spinning on
God’s finger”
and I just have to ask
when the world ends,
where will God be
then?
then?
These two poems were first published online in the January 2012 issue of Tuckmagazine.com
