After Shock

After Shock

Earthquakes are devastating, but aftershocks can cause as much damage
Plates shifting under the earth shake already unstable foundations
Unsuspecting people stepping over rubble hear a rumble and now
The sky is falling

What you did was devastating, but the aftershocks cause as much damage
Memory floats to the surface of my consciousness, shaking my unstable foundation
Unsuspecting, washing dishes in the sink and you float on the water and now
The sky is falling

Aftershocks in physical sensations; the way my body remembers better than my brain
In memories like mosaic glass spilled onto the floor I can’t sort through
I cannot sort through the rubble
Devastating damage to an already unstable foundation
The sky is falling
