fear quoked him strongly
quite rattled to the basement
while the #quake passed by

The cat clung to the floor for dear life. Her ears turned back, eyes wide open. Every claw buried into the carpet.

The fish hasn't noticed. They just floated in their tank. Oblivious what had transpired.

Ripples in the tank were all the #quake had made.

The cat would beg to differ.

one morning
she left her fear
on the chair
beside the bed
where sunlight settled
along the sleeves
and turned it
into an ordinary coat
she #quaked a little
as the words
she had held back
passed her lips
and her voice returned
with a grain of night
still in it

He's sat on the sofa, staring at the blank TV screen. No video games for an hour. It's the cruelest punishment known to mankind. I almost giggle when I see his lip #quake. He doesn't cry though. He sits it out. When we're done he says sorry and I say thank you. Then I beat him at Mario Kart.

Her voice drifted across the waves like silk and poison - soft, endless, impossible to resist.
One last look at the horizon, then the #siren claimed another soul who thought he could listen just a little longer.

Yesterday's children
Still climbing fences

Left
At the start,
Tomorrow's child
Pinched and
Lynched

Yesterday's child,
Leaving a
Nasty quake

Set them free,
For Heaven's
Sake...

What’s in a name? That which we call a volcano

By any other name would #quake as rumbly.

"Every pillow in the hotel has been stolen, Sholmes"

"Its Geriarty, Hatson. He wanted to test his earthquake theory"

"By taking the pillows?"

"Yes. He believes guests scream less during a #quake when they have nothing soft to hide behind"

Rattled eyeballs in
The resulting quake, mistake
To wake Chthulhu.

After a long year apart, the mere sight of her approaching caused his new world to #quake and crumble.

The engineers, the sleepers
And the bog
All #quake together.

A winter labour of snow
Poured white as plans
Stone sunk in a peat land
Load after swallowed load
Under grey gnawing skies

Finds base at last,
Swells and lips. The bog laps
Resentful, divided
At the wheels of trains.

It’s not the time
To run them to the ground.
Nor let human voices drown,
Under deafening guns & bombs.

For peace will slip from sight
Unless we let in the light.

Else we risk a cruel timequake
Endlessly trapped in a loop,
Forced to relive each mistake,
Until we choose to wake.

Don’t worry. That “quaking” you feel when you see her - it’s called “love.”

It’s chronic and often painful, but it won’t kill you. Probably.

you know, your hands are whispering when you sleep...

Branches creak and quake
As a bitter frost bites hard
A weak sun shivers

Sub-merging
I step
into the tide,
it folds me, calf by calf,
your shadow waits beneath.
A kiss
drifts up my wrist,
salt-surf carving paths,
pressure gathers
where hips begin to #quake.
The water rumbles,
slow,
deep,
holl-
ow
and my body accepts
its own
d
e
s
c
e
n
t
into
the weight
of you.

With the number of guards patrolling the noble mansion and its grounds, most other thieves would #quake and tremble in fear at the thought of getting caught, but not Ilyna.

She thrived on that danger. Lived for the complexity of the score. She’d complete the heist. She knew it in her soul.
