Continental Shift

silence on the seas
massive seismic surge follows
when continents shift

earth’s distinct contour 
erupts from out the ocean
forming Hartland Quay

layered, jagged cliffs
before time began for us
join in upheaval 

shipwrecks indicate
transition under the sea
earthquakes unnoticed

silence grandpas can't recall
pre-ancestral change at all
