Quake
Very vivid use of language and typography - I was moved. You found expression for what you felt.

Quake
Poignant stuff this, takes a bit of writing I would imagine, but things like this should be told.

Re: Tzippy
Thanks for your lovely comments, actually I have been, unlucky enough to feel the effects of two earthquakes in my lifetime ( both in western/Eastern Europe ) they weren't very strong but they did cause considerable structural damage, and I found there was an eire silence both before and more surprisingly after the events .

This brought back many memories for me...especially when I helped with the Lebanon Evacuation back in 2006...the screams and dead bodies in the water still float in my mind...Good write!

wow very very touching poem-
But if you have been in an earthquake it is not silent at all, you hear the rumbling of the earth and it is more freightening the bullets and bombs because there is NO shelter.

Your original style sways and swoons this serious situation. Your words both tell it like it is and paint an image of hope. BC-A, Bill’s RJLsZ

Good Grief that's real!!!
This is the first time I've read you. Even though I have never personally experienced an earthquake, I feel as if I were there for that one.
