SAIKO'S ENTRY

Enclosed
are war weary secrets
to kill the lights
and dim reality
of war offices
and lined with papers
now with its corpses
lying out on once
fresh air pocketed
ocean floor
an eleven year old
orphan turned beachcomber
finding fragments
of shells and bomb craters
under the seaweed
hunting for one survivor
who can speak English
or Japanese
and now writes to you
as a pacifist\
is made not borne
by historical letters
and appears to warn
the clock as time nearly
is over for Adam's
atomic dust to surface
