Landslide

March 25, 2014

 

Too much rain and too much thunder

Sturdy bones sawn asunder

Sinews ripped and strewn above

Boulders tumbling under grass, roots aloft

Majestic trees shredded and torqued

Dirty rapids running filthy

A mountain splintered and twisted

Homes entombed, lives lost

Clouds dripping, heavy with tears
