Earthquake Poems - Poems about Earthquake

The tectonic tremor, not of crust, but of spirit, a fault line fracturing the smooth facade of days. Sudden, the seismic shift, a stutter in the rhythm, cobalt cracks bloom across the porcelain certainty. Dust motes, once dancing in sunbeams, now choke the throat, a gritty veil over the shattered mosaic of "always." The ground, once firm, a liquid sway, a serpentine...
