Sea Anemone

Lateral fission
(in which an identical
animal sprouts out

of the anemone's side)
behind rock
solid loneliness is one

choice. The other is sea
anemone sex
releasing catastrophe...

as safety concerns
increased on July 16,
1945,

the first atomic bomb
was detonated
at Alamogordo,

New Mexico
near the poplar trees
weeping amber

tears where replication
and division
affect global warming

produced by nuclear
fission heating the sea
anemone's

explosion of strange
mutations
flowering into death.
