Avalanche

Avalanche


you see now
but not then
bitty pebbles
but now—
lots of bitty pebbles
all coming
down
fast.

how long
years
you can’t stop
too many
pebbles

was it because
no one noticed
the first
bitty pebble?
But we all
have
pebbles
and they don’t
become
lots
of
bitty pebbles

so I pick up
a shovel
to scrap
what’s left
of me
after your pebbles
Hit me

but not you
too many
bitty
pebbles
