lyrics

It's her birthday
She’s watching people buzz about tents,
find food to cook, try to wash and hang
out laundry. Some children stay close
to the camp fire. She tugs a necklace
of shells; Nana collected them as currency ̶ before the roaring swept every crevice.

The waves took homes and hopes. Swallowed
them, spat out dregs, Nana and Dada hurricane
scum. She and Mama were held, protected
by palm trees. But there is no climbing here.
Clouds darken, and empty shells no longer
lift her heart. She wishes to be in heaven.
