Waiting for Gustav


Saturday morning
 1
and the sky
 2
is gentle blue
 3
Has it been
 4
only three years
 5
since I watched
 6
a mother
 7
find
 8
her dead son's
 9
marine uniform
 10
in the ruins
 11
of her home?
 12
soiled in ways
 13
that will never
 14
wash out.
 15
The detritus
 16
of a nation's
 17
failure rubbed
 18
into the fabric
 19
of the world
 20
Politicians smile,
 21
announce the coming
 22
victory
 23
raise joined hands
 24
in triumph
 25
speak about a bright
 26
and shining future
 27
They do not see
 28
the haunted eyes
 29
of frightened souls
 30
fleeing from the coast
 31
and the sky
 32
such a gentle blue
 33
today.
