Trinity Test

A Poem

Gears of the gadget

whirring in breakneck speed,

under the worrying eyes of Oppenheimer

whose time went backwards towards the moment

when the forces went in

so that the horses would go out.

in kilojoules harnessed to a single command succeed.

Father, Son, and Trinity.

From out of a single sun

drawn baren from the dust plane lands

would now come

Brighter than a thousand suns

out of the night resplendent

a flower that had never been seen by any correspondent.

The eyes that were protected in black

saw the scene on their bellies

a light so dim and mechanical release

and knocked the structure gone, out of sight.

It was the quote that quipped until ellips:

brighter than 1000 suns.
