Mackenzie Norman

Do you feel that rumbling?

Like the earth is changing, shifting,

Rising up in a vast wave of rock

Above the tops of the heads of small-minded man.

The world is an open window, a new breath, a first kiss

Everything is charged with electricity

Every vein is surging with the unquenchable thirst

of the deepest human experience.

I am in love with the world;

I am drawn by the sea,

Shaped by mountains,

Fashioned by wind,

Hammered into thin sheets of fury by people

and those who hate them.

I am a tile swirling in a hurricane

Ripped from the nest to embark into the

violent storm of truth.

I will land somewhere & forced into the ground

it will become my home

until the tides carry me

into the roaring ocean.
