From the Sea, I Have Come to Destroy Tokyo

destiny.
this is not a test.
seven sessions alike. this is no generation
warning but admonishment
of my atomic rebirth
close
closer
these will not be bullet points.
confidence at the hesitant breath
wait one beat.
air pulls from space
and i strangle in the dayroom
bright
white
without declaration
this is plaintiff
for a throat is only as useful
as the oxygen it pulls

here to expel the succubae
with an ocean-rest
overcome with peace
this cold sea change
i could have clouded
over antarctica
fenceless land about
exhale
exhale & finally speak
exhale with only two words
