does the sky bother at all when the ground quakes
when the things built crash on the builders
and hopes fall deep into the crevices made by an angry earth?
does the sky bother at all?
one completely ravished,
the other, chirping and shining.
a source of both hope and disrespect.
perhaps the sky jumps into sudden action
filling the cracks with its fulness
and making a way for the dawn to reach
the new boundaries of the horizon.
however deep and devastating they may be.
