Afterthought - Mark Nikirk


Tucked in folds, the Book well hidden
As I creep under, over midden
Misshapen, scuttles mutant babe
From eyesight's corner to darker shade


Within the ruin, a room concealed
My shelter from nightmare revealed:
After bomb and atom showers
The broken grin of skyline towers


Burdened with the only proof
Of man's wisdom, now aloof
Wars now small, still are fought
After life, afterthought
