Destruction

I’m homeless
All I have is my family
Flicker of the light switch
Darkness of the light

The dark clouds our vision
Pine tree violently fell beside the Saturn View SUV
Sandy’s destruction didn’t demolish our spirits
She didn’t destroy our spirits

Some of us live on the sidewalks
Beg for money or change
Boardwalks once ran on, walked on, and played on vanished
We have nothing left
Looking through the black tunnel of the abyss
Silence
