through the twisted chain link fence
after the typhoon

abandoned house
the morning glory
has taken over the roof
abandoned house
the morning glory
has taken over the roof
hurricane’s rage
hours earlier …
white roses, behind her smile
strand of web
blows in the wind..
the spider waits
On a broken maple limb
A tiny shoot of green
Seeks the blue sky.
new day seems old
her laughter echoing through the pines
A gap in the hedge:
the red flower bows to
all the pedestrians
Old memories of
Typhoon Pamela raging
Our home blown away
highway sign
bent over, backwards
the last pine
