Staring out innocent eyes watch
As from the sky a bird flies by
Something shiny
Something small
Falls
Slowly
With fear in their eyes
Watching
Gripping hands as it kisses the earth
A shudder, a tremble
A wave of earth
Rushing towards them
A silent crash
Quiet, then a cough
the boy lifts himself
From the ashes
To the left and right he swings his head
Shaking it off
Looking down
His sister’s hand still in his grip
A sinking feeling
Despair crept up his throat
Tears came
Shock
Disbelief
Lying unmoving
Dirt caked her tiny innocent face
Motionless.
