Forty-five seconds were enough
to change a prosperous city
with daily dreams into tough rough.
Result of a new symphony.

Once upon a time, long ago
an emperor set the basements
of a big castle on the go.
Stranger men called it "krak"

People in the dark, under walls.
On the night, sometime the earth shakes.
On that day, each certitude falls.
They take you by surprise - earthquakes.

Formerly a place to enter.
Now, this is an empty center.

To Speak of Secret Futures
Our coffees cool between us on the breakfast counter. You stare at the curls of steam so you don't have to look at me. That's always been your tell. Usually your gaze speaks volumes, so when you refuse to meet my eye, that means you have a secret you don't want to say.
