Haiti...

HAITI/ QUAKE/ 2010
X
Pulled down to earth, beneath the ground
smashed to gravel,
are you walking, are you sinking?
x
Does your body draw away
from your dusty breath
to split this minute from forever?
x
Yet your skin is flowing red,
you see your life walk the edge,
as a villain seems to press
his hand against your mouth.
x
Try going back to live your hope,
calling out,
will I be alive?
Still the crimson flows.
x
You are grey without your soul.
Have you faith that you exist
when it seems as if you don't?
x
You learn quickly in this place
where a quake has pushed you down
to inhabit an abyss.
x
You've little time to decide
if you're dead or yet alive.
And now you'll try
to take a walk
through shattered stone.
