SAINT JULIAN PRESS
Sarah Carey ~ Poet
What’s Left of Us Is Shaken
We know the drill: plywood cut to sills
to cover glass, bolted, battened down
to face the worst winds of a decade,
supercells spun inland from the sea.
Each hurricane worse than the last--
shock of debris, browned brush,
decapitated palms planted by a flock
of deniers. What’s left of them,
of us, is shaken, wonders why rebuild?
We’ll come back, it could have been worse.
Some of those blacked-out for days
made do with candlelight. Others discovered
how much brighter the stars appeared
in the darker nights.
