Radioactive head

Mom in nightgown and
a lead shielded hard hat

Hard to see her as dangerous

No longer platinum haired

Smiling
but scared

Uranium pellets
rest inside

Hopefully doing their dirtywork
before the dirtywork does her

Took me two reads

to get this wholly, not because of you but because the poem deserves a thoughtful reading. It says a great deal in few words, which is imo very very good. The juxtaposition of the familiar and the frightening is what really makes it special, I think. :)

A steel-jawed poem

about a frightening situation. Sometimes an unwavering smile is medicine, even if we'd rather cry.
