Fall and Rise of some Families

Of late, I've seen some families crash

like tombs of playing cards.

I saw their smiles vanish, as did the tears , like morning dew.

only to make a come back , utterly transformed.

I was surprised the men now started to smell

like dinosaurs and other extinct ones,

and women held eternity in their gazes,

their sighs already turned breezes.

The little ones also chipped in

with their animals and even plants

to start everything new, upon a now uncertain sod.
