Earthquake

 

 

Her leg will be amputated but,
Non-collapsible items like,
Book-shelves and fathers
Can make a space to survive.

    Thanks first for your visit
    I had to read this and re-read
    I like poetry that becomes personal
    this to me is a child in an place that is war-torn, or has been hit with a disaster
    the amputation is more what has been taken from her heart

    Nicely stated
