Moving To the Vibrations of California

Birds chortle below the simple timber line Warm winds can not protect them now California is no place to be in the middle of a quake Redwoods and sequoias sway, begin to understand Collapse in on themselves on shaky grounds Pacific waters hold a deep blue secret A charm colder than the Atlantic winter storm Still the waves rise to the size of mountains Tsunamis know no boundaries once begun Trees crack. Ships break with the day wide open The sun becomes too heavy for the rising sky Landslides on mud flows fill in the empty spaces Innocent bystanders of an upside down world survive Are not surprised when California leaves Decides to make a new start out at sea
