Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

K- is for the killer you turned out to be A- is for the absent, washed out to sea T- is for the terror that came our way R- is for the rescued, still alive today I- is for the impact, you smashed upon our shore N- is for the numbers, sprayed on the doors A- is for all of us: the strong, the weak, the rich, the poor, the brave, the meek, the young, the old, the heroes who came -- how can any of us ever forget your name.
