Oppenheimer's Hungry Ghost Poem by William D. Borgen

Oppenheimer's Hungry Ghost



Neutrons cascade
with geometric beauty.
Cause and Effect
Chase after each other's sex.
A sweet engineering problem.
An orgy of phyics.
A flash of light...

70 thousand sentient beings
Reduced to shadow and ash.

Namu Shakyamuni Butsu
