MAY 10
2 months nearly petal snow blows west, uncovers rubble a dolls arm, color earth a pink barrette, glistening rhinestones as intact as if it just came out of a lock box a 12th birthday gift pale rose as a slice of the pure beauty of the cherry blossom

INSTANT RAMEN NOODLES
born of hardship after WW2. Long lines of starving people wait for Osakaka, they didn't want bread made with white flour from U.S. Suddenly, instant noodles, chicken flavored, in the late 50's, cups of instant noodles for the exhausted, for those in shelters. Chicken flavored ramen for the soul, soulful, soothing. Hot soup and noodles, comfort food, waiting for news of the dead. Noodles for luck, noodles in the cold north. Noodles in the wind where it smeared on corpses and blossoms, noodles for the starving

ON THAT DAY
a woman finds her aunt in the rubble, kneels to bless her as somewhere else under snow and wreckage, a flower I don't know the name of opens close to sludge where lifeless shapes already become one with iced mud. A shivering dog curls near matted fur of a dead dog the wind ruffles, as if to protect it
