Natural Disaster
April 16, 2012
The wind sweeping away the gray ashes of the pyre,
The fire burning what can produce no more,
The rain obliterating that which scores the Earth;
I see the acrid smoke, I let it burn my eyes;
I feel the heat, let it peel back the scars on my skin;
I hear the steady tears, I let them wash my footsteps into mud;
Let it be,
For it is easier to run than it is to cry.
