After the Flood: 2011
That day, rain brought death.
Raging torrent swept away
Lives, homes, happiness.
TV images,
Bring impotent sympathy
For loss, shock and tears.
On a nearby shore —
Little blue boat, torn in half,
A chair up-ended.
Two porcupine fish —
Victims of freshwater flood
Mourned by a small child.
