The City Hears the Footsteps

A scene-led poem about Godzilla.

Sirens begin before the harbor water rises. A black ridge moves where no island stood. Neon signs shake beneath the approaching roar. The monster carries an age of fire in its body. We cheer the spectacle and remember what created it. Even ruins on a screen can warn the waking world.

A movie monster may embody a historical wound

A second poem approaching Godzilla from another angle.

A black ridge moves where no island stood. A movie monster may embody a historical wound. The monster carries an age of fire in its body. Even godzilla keeps more than one meaning in view. The loudest roar can be made from human fear.
