MASS MOUVEMENT

take the current 

like the mist

It can’t resist

DECOMPOSITION

does not mean DEPRESSION

take into action

the disintegration

Mass movement

take the current 

like the mist

flows to the east

and eat the LAND

without HAND

the north, too short

it doesn’t worth

the south, too youth

I have my doubt

OUT

Mass movement

take the current 

like the mist

It can’t resist

far east

east

far north 

north

far south

south

far west

west

this isn’t a quest

just the flow

from right to left

MASS MOUVEMENT

take the current 

like the mist

enters the sea

no entrance

just the trance

MOVEMENT from above

fall fall FALL

down the hall

become

the HOLE

earth cracking

and crows flying 

SEDIMENTATION

without reACTION

SOLIFLUCTION

get into ACTION

MASS MOUVEMENT

take the current 

like the mist

It can’t resist

OLD land

NEW land

no END

can’t stand

DESERT is drying

WATER not falling

doesn’t mean dying

but just not diving

MASS MOUVEMENT 

TAKE THE CURRENT

like the mist

it can’t resist

to the west

the quest request

no rest

the earth falling 

but nothing

TOO much water

the ground too round

to the DRY POND

MASS MOUVEMENT 

TAKE THE CURRENT

LIKE THE MIST

IT CAN’T RESIST
