Grief

Clouds of choking dust

swirl through Haiti,

 

bodies lie splayed

in a pile:

 

an expanding

matrix of bereavement.

 

A man holds

a half peeled orange,

 

a mother lies

near her daughter,

 

face dismantled ruthlessly

by the trembling beast.

 

A young boy

with outstretched arms

 

seems

crucified.

 

Who will

cover them with Earth?

 

Who will pluck some flowers

and place them upon their grave?

 

All alone,

 

a wounded survivor

stands apart,

 

gazing in disbelief

at the sky

 

frozen by horror

and lost in a Ginsberg daze,

 

he feels

the world crumbling

 

in his mouth,

flimsy and frail.

hard to imagine all the deep pockets of chaos that find worldly expression in these times, bhuwan. the people of haiti deserve far better than what they have received. thank you for this graphically moving write, poet.

Bhuwan, your poem evokes pictures and emotions...compassion can barely embrace the reality of the catastrophe.

Good to know you're here.

Good to see you back, and back with a sensitive, heartfelt beautifully imaged poem that reaches out to anyone with a heart.

It's so very tragic. My prayers and thoughts
go out to them. Thanks for sharing this and
hopefully those who can help... will!

If there's a Heaven, it should come with a better invitation.
If there's a Hell...no need to ask- there is.

So sad, and so tragic, and I hope and pray that they all can find some help and comfort.
