Tuesday Meta-Four

An unfunny meta-four:

Quake

the earth breaks open
and we don't know
what to do what
happens bodies fall upon
bodies and more bodies

The Dickinson oracle:

The Opening and the Close
Of Being, are alike
Or differ, if they do,
As Bloom upon a Stalk -

That from an equal Seed
Unto an equal Bud
Go parallel, perfected
In that they have decayed -
(E. Dickinson, 1098)
