after the bomb drops.

Shattered glass. Skeletons
of steel. An unfinished
message, scrawled

on the burnt-out buildings
the trains never pass,
anymore. Your voice

echoing in the blank
space, folding back in
on itself. Twilight; back to

dawn. Light, dancing
nakedly, openly,
in the streets where we

once could have. The
sirens have long since faded
into the gray. The view

from this bridge
is no longer beautiful. Oxygen.
Neon. Underground.

(Keep this secret.)

So, hi. For those who don't know me: Miki (female, Japanese-Australian), seventeen, a reasonably-proud inhabitant of the city of Melbourne. Assuming this blog is updated more than once, I foresee it being home to a mishmash of my poetry, photography, artwork, and half thought-out musings. It's lovely meeting you.
