Tsunami

By Jeannette Drake

earth wobbles

on its axis

while earthlings, some

stump, bomb, rape

sisters and brothers

babies missing in action

I believe

in one Father/Mother Maker

of heaven and earth

and all things seen

and unseen

earth wobbles

on its axis,

a mote hung

between eternity, space

and light

elephants take flight

night becomes day

becomes night

light your candles

for nothing is secret,

that shall not be made

manifest,

take heed . . .
