Mushroom

Every positive value has its price in negative terms...
the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
Pablo Picasso

1.
gray
cloud
thick burst
and thunder
the distant rumbling
of a persistent dead mushroom

2.
red
glint—
torment—
the crevice,
a twisted red rage/
ash-coated sorrow of silence

3.
smoke
cloud
mushroomed—
the death knell
of a silhouette
a thunder-like silence of loss
