The Unnamed Storm


The Unnamed Storm
Perhaps             to name you
was to                           know you.
Your gradual                            approach
allowed                                                the denial.

…as if preparations were
unnecessary            or            not            to            be            rushed…
maybe your landfall would be soft
            in the middle of the night as
I slept,                                                  unknowing.
Oh but that doesn’t ever happen with
            a hurricane.

The steering currents warm
with energy
made certain
that
your arrival would be                                  noticed.

You brought a power greater than                 mine.

I stood helpless                                     on the shore
to
hold you back             
or                                 keep it as before.
My belongings                                     scattered…should I search              or
are they ruined by                    your caustic            pounding and should I
just       let        them                                        go?
