Tsunami

Come Tsunami...like a tear
it's arrival foretold
by quiver of lip I feel, Come

like a swollen river, easing
over the banks depositing
richness I live, Come

like a torrent, a crescendo preluded
by loom of clouds I see, Come

like a typhoon, a tornado galloping,
a thousand 'saurs beneath my ground I hear, Come

Come Tsunami bigger
than your richters meters miles
but show your face
gimme hunger horror death, come

like a bandit brandishing, look
straight and rob
straight, Don't come

surreptitious
like torpedo
snaking through water, Don't come

as capital which comes a christ
and departs a cross, Come

Come in any which way
gimme hunger horror death
but show your face, Come

like water.
