Illyric Incidents

Now and then, things that seem
Like actual events
Do happen—an honest

Meteorite banged through
The desert north of here
Just a few weeks ago.

Rock hounds have collected
Some fragments already.
Then, early this morning,

An earthquake rattled town.
No big deal. Cracked some walls
And woke some people up.

Those sitting up in bed
Already, reading, thought
Was that just now a quake?

It was. An actual
Event, then, hit the town
This morning, four a.m.
