empty sandbox



quick-killed

                 atomic blast


fission plays above a body

where the scorched skin

still leaves a reek


the sandbox is empty now

dreams

  like childhood laughter

  of a once was

have dwindled away


all the earth returns to fire

  still green and blue in 

  someone's eyes

a memory relived like the

yesterlife we once had


all we have is now


  hold out the fist

  open the hand


where did it go
