A violent storm erupts
and leaves aftermath for those few that have remained
with all the empty houses, windows, wheels and roofing material
we might find some kind of comfort here
less reason to be afraid now than before
when we didn't know what was coming
or what would hit or what would happen
muck and rubble make hills of resources
and we may be productive
there are boards leaning against the horizon as I stand here with my heels on the line
perfect shadows casting depth into a perspective that could have gone unnoticed
had I simply
ran
away
