The jump-off line is from Some Feel Rain by Joanna Klink.
She feels the river shift. She feels the mountain shift. Everything is always moving.
She feels the river shift. She feels time itself shift.
She feels the river shift. It is always shifting.
She feels the river shift. Her childhood shifts and she cannot quite see it now. Everything is a haze, colours are no longer vibrant.
She feels the river shift. The clouds shift overhead. Light shifts across the wall.
She feels the river shift. When it falls aparts, she is standing on the shore. Seeing the chasm entering into being from one heartbeat to the next.
She feels the river shift. The rocks under her feet shift.
She feels the river shift. The grasses under her feet shift.
She feels the river shift. A shifting ray of sunlight just dapples the wall.
She feels the river shift. A wind rustles the branches, shifting them according to its tune.
