GEORGES - late September, 1998

under the hurricane's eye
silence

hurricane-spawned flood
thrashing the muddy rice stalks
against a rock

mounds
of white gravel
where the town once stood

FLOYD - September, 1999
 
wider
than Florida
Hurricane Floyd

RITA - mid-September, 2005
 
home floating ... now lodged
against a willow oak
hurricane-made lake
