Judith A. Brice: Collage

After the hurricane, the deluge

of drops and days, we wondered

if it might happen again,

if the cerise and ocher blue

would collage the sky taupe/black,

could crack and turn

the heavens and clouds

askew, and on their side.

We pondered at the cause—

what was true,

what right,

and if either might

ever refract and bend

to a single speck,

or single beacon of light.
