Melancholia

by Venky

Stillness of an accommodating night disturbed by an ominous rumble.

Ushering in unwelcome guests in the form of Cracks and Crevasses

Structures collapsing in heaps as the city hasn’t even time for a mumble.

Saturnine images of ravaged fathers holding their lifeless girls’ corpses

Oh! Mother Nature

(Word Count: 47)

Nice verse Venky, as well as nature I think man’s greed had something to do with this tragedy too building with inferior materials <3
