Lovers

HURRICANES & I

 

Hurricanes & I

Were lovers

And I built my house

On a little island beckoning them,

Alone, a world away

 

And -

 

the wind

 

screamed with joy

waters surged to hug my walls

I embraced the breaking beams

 

howled through the shattering windows

till the whole roof groaned & flew straight up

and her final wave took me.

 

Calm, then

Floating lost amid the splinters

Under the white sun

In water to the world’s rim

Trying to do it again

 

If I can
