She\'s Running On The Levee

Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

She\'s running on the levee\r\nShe used to run every day\r\nBut it\'s been weeks\r\n\r\nEven angels spreading wings\r\nTo hold the waters back\r\nWhen her path failed\r\nNever could\'ve shined\r\nLike her ponytail\r\nAgainst the air\r\n\r\nThey didn\'t\r\nSpread their wings\r\n\r\nAnd I can\'t now, can\'t even talk like this\r\nYou see, she saw me floating by\r\nOn her way out of state\r\n
