Naming Storms

Posted on November 2, 2019 by whimsygizmo

…

Hurricanes are christened alphabetically,
…..male
…female,
………even
…odd
and the big ones get retired:
Andrew, Katrina, Sandy.

I read their headlines,
ink my fingers in their bruised skies
,
and long to spill my own torn
-ado’d heart, label her chambers
something other than
simply
broken.

 

..
In November, we poem.
