Incident
A house falling
through the air
from a great height.
Inside, a woman
is walking up
a flight of stairs
in the hope
of getting somewhere.
Below, the indifferent
crowds are mulling
through their own
tawdry affairs,
one little girl
looking up at the sky,
shading her eyes
from the sun’s awful glare.
