ONE THOUSAND PAPER CRANES

 62/ „MISJUDGED INNOCENCE „ RIAS VIAENE 

Enola gay

I became just used to be mammy‘s and daddy’s joy.

When I toddled happy under the falling Little Boy

Mushroomed killing winds slew the passing crane

I kept in mom’s loving arms, safe heaven in vain

63/ „SOULMATE „ MILA VIAENE 

Struggling

As a youngster , I loved the peaceful breeze  on the lake .

The flapping crane , my recourse and beautiful soulmate.

Between happy go lucky , and inflaming infusions

Dipping my little big toe into vast and cool illusions

64/LEGEND’S BELIEF „ ESTHER VIAENE

Legend

School friends incited me walk together to green meadows.

We lay down in beds of forget-me-nots and cool sun downs.

We saw the flying crane , bringer of good fortune, a Godsend!

A thousand paper cranes, and fate I would bend ….

65/ „1000 CRANES „ JIA VIAENE

Origami

While deathly fluids dripped and burned in my vanes

I frantically started the repeated folding of origami cranes.

Each piece of paper I found was folded and counted

In little head bald, exhausted and daunted.

66/ JUDJEMENT OF TRUMAN  „ AILU VIAENE 

Immortalized

And live fled , soulless became my harassed little body .

Who is Truman from far away ,who made his decision so boldly

To scarify thousand non guilty , to end an already won war

For never ending world peace. I leave my story for history ajar.
