Katrina

by Denis M. Garrison


 

deep moaning winds

floodwaters rising

the burial of dreams

 

watching the shelter tv

refugees from the new lagoons—

wet sleeves

 

weep, gulf coast, weep—

the sea wants to

take you home

 

the greatest world leaders—

they look so tiny

in the eye of the storm
