Gathering together its full force
of howling wind, whipped on
by the fiercest of riders – Nature enraged –
It carries on, gorging itself on towns
of helpless, screaming victims
tossing aside the endeavors of man
more easily than a house of cards
that yields to the furious thump of its master’s fist;
All blown aside, digested into small fragments:
the bones, dust and people’s dreams:
disappeared like the breeze of a dead summer.
Where are they now?
And where will I be,
if such a torrent lay its awful hands on my life?
