Ocean Springs, Mississippi, USA

   One lonely wagon,
Lost to the dragon.
Abandoned apartments,
Now merely remanants
Of ferocious attack
That made us stand back,
And ask why the dragon
Had drowned us in venom.
   Now, after Katrina,
A rusty patina
Was all that remained
To tell us how pained
The good people were
Who stood up to her.
[2005]
