How can the sky
turn against us
like this?
And send forth such Furies
tearing holes in the world
tearing holes in our
fragile
world?

Tearing
Roof from home
Tearing
Home from foundation
Tearing
Tree from earth
Tearing
Child from mother’s arms
Tearing
Mother from son
Tearing
Daughter from parents
Tearing
Lives – oh! so many
Lives – oh! Oh!
