FIFTEEN KILOTONS

Falling in love is an upward falling
blooming like a mushroom cloud
irradiating
obliterating

You kissed me with your apoca-lips
You held me in your arms-aggedon
Nuclear fusion
of two into one

Falling out of love is a freefall
that reaches terminal velocity
nuclear fission
atomically riven

Now in the fallout my heart is
starving in a nuclear winter
shadow on a wall
vaporized
