Mother Earth

---

Mother Earth has been shaking lately.

Really rattling... 

Rattling people out of their homes,

and comfort zones. 

Rattling people awake.

Viruses,

wild fires,

hurricanes,

and earthquakes. 

Surely everyone feels the shaking.

Can see the quaking. 

I worry that eventually

she's gonna rattle herself off course. 

Take herself, 

and all of us, 

with force. 

And we'll all fall apart.

When what we need

is to fall together. 

Be the weight that steadies her.

Medleys her. 

Surely, we must be ready. 

Or else I worry 

this will inevitably 

get deadly.
