That Earthquake (A Dream)

the whole building
went down the ground
the earth cave in like a
big mouth
and swallowed
the whole of it

i worry about you
who is inside
that room
alone,

i trust you
and God

then minutes later
you come out of that mess
casually
dusting off your feet
walking down the
pathway towards the house

whistling.
