Destructive winds shred thousands of homes.
The homes are now merely dirt and rubble.
Flood waters carry personal belongings
of Danny’s brown teddy bear, Anny’s Barbie doll, Aunt
Grace’s Bible,
As I was walking toward the destruction, ambulances
were coming into the neighborhood to help the families.
Red Cross members covered some in blankets
and others in sheets, they weren’t so lucky.
A young man called William asked for his wife.
Many more cried for their lost love ones.
Listening to the distant static
voices on the radios,
I hear that organizations and communities
are sending medical aid, water and other resources.
Soon it will be time to rebuild.
