Poetry list
overturn
catastrophe
in greek
all pervading
penetrating the
interstices of
life and
banishing all
sense of
normality
it may be
predicted but
always comes
out of
nowhere
rehearsed it
is always
utterly different
it brings the
unthinkable
and the
unbearable
leaving rubble
and ashes
what can arise
only miracle
brings balm
to the loss
and severance
of never seeing
or being the
same again
it is our lot
so through
all ages
we pray for
deliverance
lift up your
eyes lift up
your hearts
