I park on the hill
I walk to the coffee shop by the water
because I dream of earthquakes
The car is up the hill
I say to the earth
Wait
Please wait until the construction is done
So the old buildings won’t fall down
Today I see
The earthquake has happened
You died
Death heals any split left within us
I know you are healed
You are with our mother
Our grandparents
Our ancestors
And know you are loved
I know I am not really separated from you
I know that I will see you again
And yet each minute lasts 1000 years
Until I see you again
The earthquake has happened
I still ask the earth to wait
I still park on the hill.

This is very beautiful Katherine, and also very sad at the same time. I have a few tears here.
