It began with a slow drip,
ice bleeding into water,
glacier veins thinning,
glacier bones exposed.
The mountain -
forgetting how to lean,
surrendering to time and heat. . . FELL!
The crack was a whisper
but the landslide was a ROAR!
. . . 10,000 pounds of stone and earth
plunged into the Dickson Fjord
in Greenland on Sept. 16/2023 —
Result: A 650-foot wave rose, as tall as a cathedral, lifting towards the sky . . . as if by a giant unfolding his hand, sweeping across his fjord, sculpting chaos in the stillness of forgotten waters.
The wave rebounded, between the fjord’s walls, sloshing back and forth — a seiche, a rhythm trapped in its own pulse.
Then came the inexplicable, as rare as a new colour in a rainbow:
a vibration that shook Earth for nine days. . . a dull, endless note never heard before.
Once-unthinkable events have now become
. . . our new reality.
