Cracks in the Universe

By Heidi Lins



Cracks in the Universe


This one called after the curved moon rose,

and the shoreline broke.

The trees whispered songs of yesterday,

still panting from a summer’s desert.

The shadows heard it, too, but I didn’t bother them

because they did not care whether it was wrong or right.

I knew it in my bones how it would feel- the waves

would break, the rays would pierce the night sky, the earth would

sing lullabies, the weeping willow would no longer cry, stars would die.

This one called after the curved moon rose, and I didn’t feel a thing.
