Walls
What kind of home is earthquake proof,
Unbreakable?
Go ask the builders their ways;
Lay bricks,
Join wood.
Ward off the elements,
Isolate.
Attend!
A way crooked followed will sunder walls.
Still...
Walls and roofs fail.
Just wait.
Ways lain down in stone,
Absolute,
Stagnant.
What kind of home is earthquake proof?
One of horizon and heaven.
A wall unbuilt is never breached,
Wood unjoined never split
