Phil Capitano Poet Free verse

Category Five

the hazy full moon lingers
to glimpse the rising sun
anxious on an island where time
is measured in hurricanes
and my voice is lost
a pebble in the languid ocean
Irma comes with certain fury
waves to capsize hotels
Monopoly gone awry
winds that punish
like the master’s whip
we wait for landfall
and my crashing 
                         h
                           o
                            p
                             e
