if earth quakes
then Spirit shocks.
Tectonic plaints
collide,
ideals along for the ride
rupture,
protest,
and disintegrate…
(by the Large)
individual fissures
once without
are entombed
(inside mountains)
and though Brows avalanche
to bury magma
(boiling in eyes)
it’s too late!
Moss-covered Scree
and first blooms
and slabs of bedrock,
succumb
surging over jutted Jaw
—an indignant cliff
and scarcely a Lover’s Lane in that regard—
to force Walls
at sizzling surf—
Walls.
Above all Walls.
Forced Walls that’ll
be scaled
by some nutcase, at some point since
they’re more
Major
than
El Capitan
and that’s just eyeballing it.
World class
Tug of War
champions are circling, naturally
&
running with
scissors
but those peaks are good
—for all they’re unstable…
Formidable & high,
which is the best place to be.
When tsunamis rush in.
