The quaking earth aches
as it swallows its people,
ending the life it is trying
to re-create.
Land crumbles into water,
hitting refresh–this isn’t it.
The water retorts the barren land,
sprinkling its dust over new cities.
More lives lost,
more dirt turned into mud,
and eventually dissipated.
The dance of land disintegration
and sea vomit continues,
as the people watch in curiosity and awe.
//Is our job to pick up the pieces?
Rebuild?
Watch?
Hide?//
The dancers hit a rest
and the people quickly forget.
