The tsunami gloom (Amy Barry)

Here and there on the stripped land, where once the flowers smiled, far and wide, green dark algaes and ripped up corals stand together.

I journey in the dark, wet cold air embraces my body, my ears burn, my blood rushes to the anguished cries of slow death, I feel trapped, almost dead.
