Katrina (in memory of the French Quarter)

Collection

Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

ebb and flow, crash and blow water rushes to and fro give and take, provide, forsake centuries toil laid to waste

bubble and boil, rocks to soil the timeless power waits... for little winds, spins and turns to rouse the giant snake

howl and blow, flash and glow the sword, the bow, the catapult throw swirl and twirl, rip and hurl the angel casts the crippling girl...
