I still remember being 12 years old and my father waking me up to tell me we had no school...only because a hurricane was headed our way. Then the taping of the windows and putting up plywood over them. It was scary and I'll never forget it, but we came out okay. What the people in Texas and in other places who have been affected are feeling, especially those who are experiencing complete devastation, I can't even fathom, but my thoughts and prayers are definitely with them. Thank you for sharing this poem...such a great abstract piece that can totally be compared to this tangible hurricane; and thank you also for sharing your writing!
