without san andreas
shivering in the background
an etna candle shaping clouds
we might forget
not even tethered to granite
are we solid, no account for
options on a paper thin
slice of life
so what did we expect?
II
be it oceans seeping in
to drown careless valleys
or blood leaked from seams
for bursting too slow
everything falls apart
into familiar shapes
will you be Africa this time
and have your limbs torn
or will you be Antarctica
and drift into winter?
III
unity bred homogenic trifles
but never a strong enough foundation
to withstand the currents
linked by rock
but not enough to weather
we’ve headed for polyphony
but still
with homogenic trifles
IV
after all those years
i'm still curved
to spoon you

tectonics such a marvelous way to pass the time..
enjoyed the poem, will need a few more reads to understand the significance of some of the particular words, but enjoyable, made me think. I also have apoem about plates, wanna read it?
:)
marrria
take the plates
stacked as broken china
in all your yearny yens
porceline betrays its faults
under glaze of time
so conversation drifts
from back to forth
while we wait for seconds
sharing our bits of little bites
savoring this serving
and looking forward to the next.
