From beaches of absolution...

"..das praias de Fukushima - III "
(summer/fall 2011 - G. Almeida, acrylics on canvas)

From beaches of absolution
a horrid stench..

an odour

a protrusive bulge of havoc


Death and misguided Humanity
poisons the air in a thicket-like array
of fumes
more and more impenetrable
with each sorrowful step inconspicuously taken.


Ancient sands that care not
nor notice Man's misgivings,

bleached, broiled and barren
in lachrymose desolation 
sickley they stare back at the face of their maker
in innocence.
(In innocence?)


There they sit upon the living bed  (,)
dead to one's lamentations
simply caressing our soles (souls)
step by step.

- and all the while Petty Theft and Larsony of the heftiest degree
dance upon our graves..

heavily.
