I love the references to nature in this and the
metaphor of it all. And the force of an earthquake –
such power and unexpectedness when it happens.

“…sink
into earth’s embrace as naturally
as roots.”

This is cool. A strong image.

The first stanza is interesting - quite unique.

I like the idea of a marriage put together like a wall, taped and mudded. And what an earthquake might do, implied. Lets the reader decide.

Some fine lines here and the last stanza is a kicker. Love this piece!

painted
in browns and blacks so we could sink
into earth’s embrace as naturally
as roots
