Just to say
Let who will lay upon the stone
of the run-over child a wreath
inscribed: Dei voluntas. I will not, for there is a mystery here
not given to any, yet, to understand
The printed shadows of Hiroshima, do they
point their evaporated hands at us
or you? How could it have been you?
This is a thing so evil that
it could have come from nowhere save a mind
capable of inventing the idea of evil.
