today
death and all of his friends
are still very busy
the earth shakes
i remember the children buried under schools
the rescue workers collecting their backpacks
again, and again, and again… it shakes
but I barely feel it
I sleep through it
a year ago today, the most desolate of lands became more so
how long will it take to recover from 47 seconds worth of terror?
the palace is tipping over
the holy places but a facade
they were as good as dead anyway
they were already dead to me
no matter how much I wish they weren't
