\nstared into the gray
\nof yawning empty-mouthed houses leaning over the street
\nspilling broken teeth<\/p>\n
The road is bowed and split open like a wound<\/p>\n
Someone’s front porch was swallowed, their
\nwashing still pegged on the clothesline and in

A church has lost its walls and is standing on corner pillars like an awkward animal
\nbending its face to the broken path of its own brick facade<\/p>\n
A stop sign is buried up to the stop sign
\nblack eyes watch where windows used to be<\/p>\n
Beyond the cordon the only movement
\nis emergency tape swaying
\nand all is quiet
\nquiet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
