Drowning in the asphalt
As I am melting
The streetlights growing critical
And overwhelming
We have seen it tonight
The radioactive glow
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
Hyper coolant runs hot
Through our arteries
And heavy water in our veins
Radioactive
And burning iodine plaque
Radiates so hot
Raising toxicity in
Our Capillaries
Can you imagine a world
Where all the people
Are merely plutonium rods
For their city
We have seen it tonight
The radioactive glow in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes

Poetry by Koray Birenheide
ŞiirOn darkest days and in the night, with smothered skies and starry light, my feet will take me wand'ring far in search of a forgotten star.
