Quakes

Earthquakes are a reminder

A reminder that we are on a planet

A planet is just a big rock

A big rock being flung through space

Space so impossibly large

So impossibly large that it doesn’t care about our little rock

Our little rock that shimmies and shakes

Shimmies and shakes every time we choose to let it break

  1. I am puzzled by your closing line Madalyn; are you being ironic or am I misreading somehow? Perhaps I better ought remain silent, though you have me curious with your thought-enticing verse.
