A giant bowl of dirt <br />holds emptiness <br /> <br />darkness of a hollow eye <br />staring at nightsky <br /> <br />wide opened mouth <br />mutely howls <br /> <br />An extraterrestrial event <br />shock-landed on Earth <br /> <br />Impact, the past erased <br />damage, reconstruct, reunion <br /> <br />its crushed center bed <br />sand tiny and soft, like water <br /> <br />its huge circular wall <br />cuts off winds and world <br /> <br />only the azure roundure, clouds and stars <br />and mystery behind the wall <br />broods oblivion and obsession<br /><br />Laijon Liu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poetry-crater/
