Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

But in the dream, you do not leave us\r\nInstead as we are sinking, sinking\r\nYou dive down to us in the mournful black\r\nWater, and pull us up into sweet air, up to the rising sun\r\nUp to America\r\n\r\nIn this dream, you cannot leave us\r\nSomething holds you and keeps you there\r\nUntil all souls, all souls are remembered\r\nUntil finally love, love\r\nOnly love\r\n\r\nBrings us all the way back home\r\n
