Analysis

The
h Diameter off
the bomb was
thirtyy centimeters
and the diameter
of its effective
range about seven
meters,

With four dead and
eleven
wounded.
And around these,
in a larger circle of
pain and time,
time two
hospitals
are
scattered and one
graveyard.
d

But the young
woman who
h was
buried in the city
she came ffrom, at a
distance of more
than a hundred
kilometers,
kilometers
enlarges the circle
considerably.

And the solitary man
mourning her
h death
d h at
the distant shores of a
countryy ffar across the
sea includes the entire
world in the circle.

And I won`t even
mention the
h crying off
orphans that reaches
upp to the throne off
God and beyond,
making a circle with
no end and no God.
God
