animals look to the sky for direction
birds flying north turn south as if
confused with their imprinting...
men who wanted to be pregnant
walk around with swollen bellies,
and their females partners wonder
what they did to deserve this...
rivers, creeks, and streams rise
higher than anticipated without
any rain for months and the
local villagers are afraid to venture
outside for fear of what might
happen to them or their children;
cows in the vegetable garden eat
what is grown instead of grass,
and the pigs are at the pond,
looking for goldfish to catch...
horses lay on the ground as if
trying to give birth while crying
out to anyone who will listen...
the earth shivered as it rotated.
