Colinton Fault

 


 

 

 

 

Three times that year I woke
as ground shook under our bed,
stopped a clatter of bottles
twitching on the chest.

Stable by daybreak, I said
nothing, feared more cracks
under the pressure. Monuments
toppled across Europe,

certainties fell with the Wall
while you slept on,
no touchstones anywhere.
