Cataclysm and Echo (Free verse) by MacFrantic
Particles resonate over the water,
causing elliptical blemishes.
Merry, frenetic streams rush into the smoke;
they infest the viscous wild. And here
the world becomes of memory.
To cross the staggered threshold is
laboring: we keep our heads up and continue
to miss what is ahead.
Ill-begotten greatness washes over the ill bodies.
The ground swells and depresses to a splintered dirgeâ
song with so much an echo as silence.
Remand this grief with every breath, and
shake the terror from your shoulders.
All is yes, lost.
