Kamikaze Flashcards
Who wrote Kamikaze
Garland
Her father embarked
at sunrise
a shaven head /
full of powerful incantations
a one way /
journey into history
fishing boats / strung out
like bunting / on a green-blue translucent sea
how he and / his brothers
waiting on the shore
the dark prince,
muscular, dangerous
as though
he no longer existed
till gradually we to learned /
to be silent
he must have wondered /
which would have been the better way to die
what is the context for kamikaze
A kamikaze piolet - meant to die - flying in but turning around due to fear it was considered an honour to die for your country however he disregarded it so he is now dead in memory to his family even the children who do understand ignore him
