Dead men trapped in ice cubes,
stirred and thawed in sterile seas,
form a slick of faces
as they drift free of the ice.

He drinks to float their memory
but he can't escape the waves,
when Kamikazes dive
into a listing whiskey glass.

A dead man trapped in whiskey
clings loosely to the rim,
and a belt becomes his weapon
as he shoots his children down.

Surviving isn't easy
at the bottom of a glass,
with dead men in your ice cubes
and a Kamikaze child.

What a remarkable entrance, CM. Sounds as if
you speak from either educated lessons, or
lessons of the real world.

Bottoms up they say.
Welcome to Pips. This is a most unusual write, one to ponder some more. I like the pen name too.

Yo Critical Mass,

My half Japanese Grandson knows all about the brave Kamikazes.

Nice write.

Thanks for your responses. Much appreciated.
I am a little slow to respond to others poems as I am trying to get a feel for the board and figure out if I will be a good fit here.

thanx
