.
So, this is how one crack grows
into two, splices and evolves
until the sky becomes pressure
against skin. This is delicately
how the world tumbles.
.
Millimeters are such small
creatures. Where is a measuring
cup when you need one? Islands
become flects of dirt that rumble
into the sea. Is this how the world
stumbles?
.
No one heeds the shattering sky,
the way in which animals roam
until they disappear. See how
the atmosphere infects the skin
like torture. What happened
to the frozen bonds that once
served as glue? What was rain,
now transformed into pieces
of broken sky that may be why
the earth rumbles.
.
Unnoticed, increments of heat
merge with the melting point. Is
it the earth or the sun at play?
Where is a good measuring cup
when you need one? Ice cracks.
That is its nature. Changing states,
molecules eat the edges of earth.
Is this how the world crumbles
