Landslide
Find your father
underneath the ruins.
The sunsets, the rainbows,
of those who perished
are also buried here
in the wreckage. Grief
is magnified by a rotting
limb, protruding in the open,
pointing to the radiant, blue
firmament, asking:
Are we merely pebbles of flesh
to be offered to the earth?
