Landslide 

On the mountain’s edge

man fears.

The hurricane

and the deafening winds.

Gloomy darkness.

Overflowing rivers,

the mountain roars.

The earth collapses

taking away the houses

and the people in droves.

Without trees,

the enchanted axe

felled them, embracing

death and desolation.
