Three Stages
When a city undergoes disaster, it moves as a mass
Through three stages: through daze,
Then generous effort, then desperation and blame.
During all these stages, Mrs. P.T. Peterson
Lay buried under ten feet of debris, pinned down by beams.
At first she heard sirens, hoped somebody would get her out.
Later as the night wore away she surrendered her spirit,
Allowing it was all right with her that God take her away.
Finally what she said to God and the rescuers when they rescued her was,
It was not fit that she lie pinned under debris.
– Josephine Miles (1958)
