crash
we are at the perimeters of each other
seeking
in raptures
perusal of bounds and extremities
amazed supplicants to a silent exuberant deity
residing somewhere in the enclosing space between us
light and thundering
cataclysm
ruptures
tremors
threatening civilization...
yet even beyond these
tiny disasters
forces of natural world
upheaval destruction chaos
we will build temples
at the epicenter
to mark with holy reverence
the moment of impact
the day the earth cracked
open
and swallowed up the cities
leaving us only each other
and a warm place to lay
