Tremble
During an earthquake,
some will catapult
toward the nearest exit,
some will find a doorway
or crawl underneath a desk
and wait for the ground
to be comfortable where it unfurls.
The latter, is how the patient survive.

You
are full of tectonic plates
that aren't afraid of shifting.
Be careful of those
who fear your quiver.
They will cover at
the tremble of you.
They will run when the hands
of right now aren't so gentle
and loving
is an act of bravery.
