by Cheryl Vaughan
There was nothing you could do, but write about it the trickle of earth through floors above that fell through lines, sent those poor barriers crashing through the floors below the sharp intake of air The catch of breath, stitch in the side in trying to take hold of it, whatever it is that moves, propels keep in your pocket What it became writing about writing about writing a propeller you turn and fire hear it rumble and shake
