Winsome Lose Some
for April on her birthday
first named storm of the season
weak though it was, did it affect you
left a Haitian family of three on GBI
without roof, without a home
oh to be in the right spot at the right time
rather than whatever’s opposite
what of being born a thousand years earlier
or a thousand years later
than when your parents came
