It was 77 years ago today that Hiroshima was flattened by an atomic blast, the first of only two times nuclear weapons have been used in war.

SLOW TOLLING BELL (AUGUST 6, 1945)

there was a slow tolling bell
and a great mass mourned the memory
of a second sun rising
the sound was mixed choirs
or dogs how…
