The funnel lowers
From roiling Spielberg storm clouds
To wipe existence .

Swirling hurricanes
Bulldoze the sea to landscape,
Melting the coastline .

The Earth does not move
Until Atlas shakes the globe—
Toppling foundations .

A bolt of lightning
Illuminates the dark field ;
Fire spreads for acres .

The mathematics
Of probability picks
Victims at random .
Blind chance rules the lives of all—
Fair–wind sails or cracked–mast squalls .
