The branches broke and ran away<br />

from their mothers. The mothers were<br />

tangled up moaning and stretching<br />

their helpless arms.<br />

It was a true disaster. In the morning,<br />

on a fallen tree looked with resignation<br />

at the barbaric acts of Heaven.<br />

the disaster would’ve been bigger and<br />

we wouldn’t be here to tell the story.”<br />

“Now you know, that darned saint really<br />

likes to perform miracles.”<br />
