Not A Poem; Just The Simple Truth

I can't write a poem tonight
But I want to write
I have to write

No poem could say the simple truth I feel
So I'll say just that: the simple truth

I miss you, my children
And it's only been hours
I wish you were here with me
Tonight

As hanabi burns like road flares
Etching the Kodachrome of my chromosomes
My mind's eye denies nothing tonight
Phosphorous for us, for me, olfactory, be, memory
You two in Ninomiya
Under sheets
Fast asleep
Dreams swirling about the heavens within your craniums
I love every milligram of your existence

And you should know that!
