from: "The Last Time that the World Ended"

Disaster becomes only a word after too 
    long
And grief always looks the same from the 
     sky

When every storm is the worst storm

How many times have I rebuilt my life?
How much destroyed or left behind,
     by forces of nature, by acts of God, by
Mindlessness and happenstance?
Where were the legions of angels, then?
