thin-stripped flat land

mountains above

waves below

always on edge

 

the ocean digests

each rock and pebble

shaken loose

by wind and rain

 

fatal erosions

rumors of end times

war against nature

war against man

 

before the apocalypse

spontaneous visions

dark dreams

then comes the final quake
