Posoltega(1998)

 
 
 
The orange bulb of the sun abruptly vanishes,
Behind a dark veil,
As shadows fall upon the land,
Gleaming arrows pounce the earth,
Hitting their marks true,
Roofs pounding with the rhythm-
Making mountains quaver.
Hills collapse,
Tumbling down
These pheasants crash without avail,
Mammoth fields of brown roll down,
Trampling life beneath their path-
Tragedy unfolds.
