WHIRLING

A small black rabbit-hole, harmless, careless
Never noticed, never cared for
Out of the blue as it starts to rotate
Objects flying in and about
Left, right, down, up
As it ferociously gets larger, it sucks up more and more of the earth
Like a furious tsunami wave
Nobody can survive it
It only ever wanted to be loved
But that’s not how it ends
