Author's note: This is, by far, a work in progress. It has undergone very little editing. SO... I would absolutely love any reviews with comments on how to improve it! Thanks!
shift
solid
concrete
earth under my feet
grab a cup – styrofoam
rubs under my calloused tips
flaking off and fluttering down
CRACK!
turn – see – look
what was it?
peer into the corners
nothing there
CRACK!
shake your shoulders
unsettled
shivers creeping along your spine
rub the tips on the styrofoam cup
need something solid
anchor
CRACK!
tumble to the ground
feel it shake
tremble
eyes burning
cup rolling on the ground
mocha chocolate spilled
gone
CRACK!
huddle in corner
is it over?
please, please
beg
plead
no more
s i l e n c e . . .
shhhh…
shaky
stand up
hand on wall –
need something solid
squint
what happened?
wavering vision
nothing’s the same
shift
everything’s the same
but different
waiting for things to settle
go back to normal
but
they
don’t!
shift
shift
shift
struggle
fight
survive
make it
in the future, just for
another
