6 August 1945

A VOLCANO IN KYSUSHU
Mount Aso   uplands
horses, rimrock

the sightseeing buses crameed,
to veiw bare rock, brown grass,
space,
sulphrey cliffs, streakt snow.
--whiffing the fumaroles
a noseless, shiny,
mouth-twisted middle aged man.

blue jeans, check shirt, silver buckle,
J. Robert Oppenheimer:
twenty years ago
watching the bulldozers
tearing down pines
at Los Alamos.
Gary Snyder
