Notes About The Poem

6/5/2024 for Poetry should be felt Poetry Contest sponsored by Suzette Richards

Fissures and Collisions

earthquakes and fissures
routinely affect politics and relationships
as they act on the earth's crust
tectonic plates clash in subduction zones
they separate at divergent boundaries 

a quake strikes 
will I engage or detach?
wisdom will prevail
I will not be smashed or fall between the cracks

William Kelii Kekaula June 5, 2024 at 11:31 AM David, our volcano erupted for half-a-day's worth of tourist overflow earlier this week, 4.1 strongest and 127 more 3.3 and less quakes that day--happy to add that my iPhone behaved wisely too, that day, Aloha, William David Crandall June 5, 2024 at 11:58 AM Wow! I was not even aware of what's going on there, out here in CA. Enjoy the show! (if that's the right way to look at it). Aloha!
