Divorce

The fault line shifts, 
subterranean conflict rises. 
Granite knitted together 
in heat and compaction, 
the force of fire, 
the weight of crushing stone; 
rock whose rough grain 
flowed together while still hot; 
granite splits. 
Tons of grinding 
crumbles the earth, 
sparks at new surfaces, 
a mountain pushing with all its mass 
upon itself, 
separation.
