Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

Last day before everlasting fast\r\nShrove Tuesday excessive indulgent gourmandise\r\nMasked ball carnival tarnished doubloons\r\nBourbon Streetwise jazz foregone conclusion\r\n\r\nCongealed sacrificial voodoo bloodstream staining\r\nGingerbread palm whitewashed mansion gables\r\nStrewn windswept blossoms premature wilt\r\nPitiless magnolias rejecting timeless mercy\r\n\r\nTin cup of graciousness empty\r\nFlipped coin faces wiped clean\r\nIndecipherable heads versus tails dichotomies\r\nPicked pockets turned inside out\r\n
