Impact
Here is the sky,
falling at one hundred meters
per second.
It's almost on top of us now.
Here is the ground,
pulsing from the center
of its chest, a rapid hearbeat,
a planet on the run.
Here are some apples:
if we survive the impact,
we're bound to get hungry.

Some current work of mine can either be found or is upcoming in: 2River, Lily, Words Dance, Verse Libre Quarterly, Wicked Alice, Gold Dust Magazine, Saucy Vox, among others.
