Earthquake (Free verse) by ifni
"the earth moves, under my feet" - like an ocean, vast unknown, right here, beneath us; contemplate the possible fecundities that slumber, trapped, 'neath concrete, steel, and hubris. 5.14.02 JV

Up the ladder: Mike Pike!!
Down the ladder: one is leaving as i enter

One suggestion: "fecundity" is a slightly obscure word, and there are many words that mean the same thing that are more common.

The poem is about stopping to think; a difficult word is intended to enhance that effect. =)

that's beautiful. think about the moving electrons in the atoms that make up your body. nothing is still and everything is changing.
