Scenes of Northern New Jersey -- the Ramapo River -- at flood stage -- a little barge, wrecked upon the isle. Hurricane Irene did a world of damage: did we underestimate her power to hurt us? Take a look and think about these questions at blog.amynelsonhahn.info -- yep, we're baaaack!
Wrack
upon the shore,
just the last passing
vesicle and vestige
of a remaining leniency.
Nothing is spared
or gained anymore
by looking here
at a cubist demise;
only a brief entanglement,
only a ferrous-flavored
acknowledgement --
a bit between the teeth
of distraught --
the true power overtakes us,
makes us matchsticks
and leaves us on these rocks
for all to see.
