The floor begins to slide beneath me, my
heartbeat takes a lurch
No longer can my chair bequeath me safety on
its perch
Minutes pass, minutes pass as on the floor
instead
I strain for balance as I grasp the framing
of the bed
In the stillness, in the waiting, more tremors
haven't come
The pounding of my heart abating, damn earthquake's
finally done
