Breaking
One day, you will open the cupboard
to find a wine glass or some Tupperware
and the world will, without warning
or alarm, roll off the edge of the shelf
and coming crashing down.
The oceans will splash onto the linoleum,
onto the rug. All the dust in all the deserts
will rain down onto the couch and coffee table,
the hills will crumble, the mountains will break,
all the windows in all the cities will shatter
and fall, a thousand dangerous miles of glass
glittering on your kitchen floor.
Everything will hush.
Exhale the breath you are holding,
and go look for a dust pan, for a broom.
Literature
Residual.
Fireflies are able to produce a chemical reaction within the lower section of their abdomens that emits a cold light. This form of light production, known as bioluminescence, is critical to courting potential mates, performing warning displays, and other forms of communication.
We stumble around a smoky field cratered with rabbit holes, wading through the collective glow of thousands of fireflies. Cicadas trade gossip with the grasses that catch and tug the laces of our tired shoes by the light of the moon, a bonfire, and farther in the distance, the little rectangles of light escaping from the windows of the houses in town.

Eliana - Prologue
The whole world was watching when the Prime Minister had a knife driven through his heart.
Eliana was home sprawled on the floor, a pile of gears and and bolts and screws splayed out before her. She only half listened to the news caster as she excitedly commented on proceedings. Ana’s mind and fingers more concerned with building a pocket-sized catapult, per her father’s instructions. Her father sat behind her on the couch, his posture sloppy. Quite unlike him, his elbows on his knees, one hand buried in his hair. The action let his ears show, the pointed tips quivering as he strained to hear the news over the sound of ElianaR

More than anything, I wish I could have shown this to my Dad. He was the co-pilot on Bhoja Air Flight 213 which crashed at approximately 6:40 pm PST on 20 April, 2012.

This is beautifully written. I'm sorry to hear about your father. That was a tragic incident and nobody should have to lose family like that. Your concept is brilliant
