The Great Flood
Old constants, freed now by the flood:
 stout evergreens unstuck from mud
 diluting roots, once stable land,
 while boulders glide as rivers strand
 and buckling bridges suffer weight
 of forests fast becoming freight
 transported by torrential rain
 relinquishing its vicious bane
 once everything's become unbound,
 abolishing all sense of ground.
