Wait

Earth pressed and
Smashed deep down inside
The bowels of a small blue woman
I am uncomfortable, restless
Twisting, aching, clawing in place
Moving around but not moving out
Moving around but not moving on
I hover over yesterdays, last weeks, last years
The past is the present is the future
Things without me move much faster than I do
The blue woman runs 584 million miles in a year, circling gas and plasma
In that time I have moved mere centimeters
Tomorrow is today is yesterday
I am waiting
Waiting for one second
A slight and beautiful chance
A sudden give
That will allow me to rip through my layers
With a violent roar
Tear through the crust, manifest volcanic eruptions
Landslides
Avalanches
Earthquakes
and Tsunamis
I long to level buildings
and mountains
Blacken the sky
and till the land with the blood of the Earth
I've waited too long to produce anything less than total devastation
That day is not today
but it is coming
I am coming
