When Writers Meet Art

Kay Hassan, Untitled (Mozambique Series), 2008

 

TWISTER

Lisa Riggin

It didn’t matter,
after the storm,
that the only things left
were the clothes
on their backs,
they said.
They still had each other
and their memories
and a little time left
to rebuild a life.
Only this time –
this time –
they said to themselves,
the foundation
would be deeper,
hold faster,
and anchor them both
to what they always had
but had forgotten –
something not even
God on a bad day
could blow away.
