The heel that falls clean
off a shoe. The fray
that begins before the garment's
final stitch. Shards of torn
underlayment the roofers
tossed to the ground.
Massive sheets of ice
and rock that shear
off the mountain, plunging
7,000 feet into the river
below. Displacement
releases energy in all
directions. Then retreat,
followed by a wave
that knocks down everything
in its path.
Purveyors of fine poetry since 2003.
