nuclear spectre rising
on blast back
of explosive radiation
levels sends tremors aftershocks

buildings blown after failures
to provide back up power generators
to pump water coolant onto nuclear
fuel rods exposed equals melt down
hot vented in hydrogen explosions
steaming radioactive yes tell me twenty

100 miles away caught
off coast down wind

was forced to relocate
to avoid a radioactive
plume originating at
Fukushima nuclear accident
site which irradiated seventeen
