AUGUST 6
Hiroshima Child
Nameless child
lying there, not yet ten
will die soon after filming
but now as calm
at the heart of terror
as bravery can be...
Her lower face
taken by the bomb,
her eyes bright with life,
shining with innocence,
turn and look upon you
with all the trust
there ever was

I am glad I cannot see this photo and those eyes.
My daughter was born on the 6th.. almost a week late...I have to agree w/Tabor...
My daughter also knows the significance of that day.. Her dad made sure she did...
I can see those eyes. The horror sticks with you.
