There are bodies everywhere
Bodies on the roof
Bodies in the water
Bodies in the streets
Bodies in houses
Young and old
All genders
Bodies of color
White bodies
Some alive
Some dead
See how they languish in the heat
Observe- as they cry out for help
Witness them looting Walmart for survival
Watch bodies get carried away by Katrina
Look up, there’s a body in the sky
Singing bodies
Dancing bodies
Bodies frozen in fear
Bodies cling and fight for their lives
Bodies shoot to kill- Bang! Bang!
How many bodies did Katrina take?
If you had to ask, she’ll tell you with sadistic glee:
“I took all kinds of bodies. Come and see.”
“On your left, a mother who couldn’t breathe.”
“On your right, man floating face down.”
There are bodies everywhere.
Bodies in the ground.
Bodies in the water.
Bodies…
Bodies.
