A Harvey Refugee Reports: When she with cats, papers, a change of clothes And her old college bag to hold them all Was one refugee among others in a dump truck A Houston Airport Authority dump truck Dieseling through rain and water and fear With muck and mud sloshing across their feet A woman next to her then laughed and said, “Now we’re the people they take pictures of” But there was no Capa to frame the scenes Only oh-my-Godders with MePhone screens

"Now We're the People They Take Pictures Of"

A Harvey Refugee Reports: When she with cats, papers, a change of clothes And her old college bag to hold them all Was one refugee among others in a dump truck A Houston Airport Authority dump truck Dieseling through rain and water and fear With muck and mud sloshing across their feet A woman next to her then laughed and said, “Now we’re the people they take pictures of” But there was no Capa to frame the scenes Only oh-my-Godders with MePhone screens

The weight of reality sits in my chest. This is all beyond what my mind can comprehend. How can it be gone if it's still here? It wasn't perfect. It left scars as I shed tears No one ever saw either anyway. Who am I? What have I become? Is this all worth this path I walk on? My pen is a knife, Bloodletting across pages since I could hold it in my hands, Since I know what it meant when shapes became words And sentences became bought. Now they won't stop And I don't know how to let go Again. Every day is a new dance with grief, Torn between remembering And trying to piece together reality. The pen pierces my heart. It gushes new words onto paper with every beat Words my mind and mouth are at a loss for Words ears will never hear. Even if they did, they're impossible to comprehend. I write them anyway. Just in case there's someone else out there Crying alone in the shell of everything they've ever known Trying to convince themselves it's worth it to inhale.

The air is cool for a summer day. Kittens play with fallen leaves As the breeze does the same with my hair. Everything around me familiar Burned into my memory. Small changes have happened over the years But some things remain forever the same. The big ant hill at the end of the road It predates us. Will probably out live us all. The atmosphere feels different As though autumn decided to debute Before pumpkin spice is released in stores For once. I'm not complaining. I take no pictures. Instead I open my eyes wide In effort to take in ever detail in front of me As the moment that came is leaving Even as I live and breathe. Making shapes of clouds that tease the rain. And to think, I really liked that day.

We in South Florida pride ourselves on getting hit by hurricanes. We take photos of how bad it is and post it on Instagram with appropriate doomsday event hashtagging. Riding these things out is like riding a bike. If you can shop for Black Friday and Christmas every year, you can shop for this. Take pride in your water divination skills and line-standing endurance feats. We are the state of Disneyworld ride lines that wrap around corners in swamp heat, and lines of red light bumper lights on i-95 Monday through Friday: this is another day in the office! Putting up shutters is like putting up Christmas decorations: we get creative Like today, we wedged pink and blue floatation noodles against the frames of the windows in arcs resembling a post-storm rainbow. My 2 year old daughter said it was beautiful. One day of this is someone else's seven months of winter. Remember, people evacuate to here annually! So do not feel bad for fleeing north to them. The news keeps saying stay calm as they embellish how dangerous this storm ride is going to be like some death stunt on a David Blaine TV special. He went underwater in "Drowned Alive": he didn't drown. He got buried underground: he rose from it. Per the broadcasted hype, the payoff is we won't die! Here's some good news: you can leave what's out of reach and in the sky to the heavens, and what's in your mind to the steps you took on the ground below: all doors closed, stuff unplugged, things that resemble missiles stashed in closets, flashlights ready like lightsabers to battle this named foe from above. It will hit the worried and unworried just the same, revealing the gas station line cutters from the people who help you with shutters; the faith from the fear of those who choose to pray; the human heart and its varying sizes as it beats faster with the darkening of the sky. At least we aren't trees: they cannot hide from this revealing event. See how they all remain serene up until the second the wind arrives, leaves rattled only then, roots of varying depths being that which holds them together either they bend with grace or they break.

This poem is dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Harvey And the people who helped during and after the storm. An Ode to the Harvey Heroes© Once upon a time not so long ago Nature did spur a Harvey in the Gulf of Mexico As the storm grew into a hurricane Winds howled and then came the rain Poor Texas got in the way And it rained day after day High water turned into floods Leaving everyone scurrying including the blue bloods Onto their roofs they did climb to survive the storm With so much rain well above the norm Little did they know a rescue mission was on the go An impromptu navy of people they didn’t even know Night and day their saviors were on a mission to rescue Not knowing the dangers they faced for they didn’t have a clue But despite the risk and the unknown How to respond they have us shown With a great amount of caring and daring Many a life has been saved though some succumbed to an early grave So what do we call the brave men and women from far and wide A hero is what I say and I am not being snide For they have saved the day for so many of our kin Not saying thank you and our appreciation would be a sin So here it is in spades “Thank you” to all who lent a helping hand And that’s from all of us from across the land Though things are far from over and done Many will see a rising sun Andreas Simic

Why do you still talk to me, Can you not see I drew this chalk line for a reason. The treason you bring to my life, I can hear Satan sing temptations in my ear, I hear his sweet words but I want to reprimanded. Fear has left its bright red marks on my neck, Reminding me how I am a fleck, As I fell further you and satan just snear, Once I broke my heart and hope hitting rock bottom, It is clear I need to forget you, Never forgive you. All of the ******** that I've been through, is neatly displayed like a menu. Here this is for your viewing! at my venue. no this is not a celebration, just a feeling that continues To break apart our communication, please take tissues and time to fix your issues. this moment is not of coincidence, but more like a combination of human failure and ignorance You incoherently ramble words that are puns, then try to persuade me like the devils tongue. Out of the shadows, I'm excepting the changes in the sun, I'm hoping my hearts pieces can magically become one.

Why Do You Still Talk To Me (by Stellarhero & Levi Harvey)

Why do you still talk to me, Can you not see I drew this chalk line for a reason. The treason you bring to my life, I can hear Satan sing temptations in my ear, I hear his sweet words but I want to reprimanded. Fear has left its bright red marks on my neck, Reminding me how I am a fleck, As I fell further you and satan just snear, Once I broke my heart and hope hitting rock bottom, It is clear I need to forget you, Never forgive you. All of the ******** that I've been through, is neatly displayed like a menu.

Are you doubting yourself? You should. You can’t accomplish anything you said you would. He can’t climb the mountains, she can’t part the sea. The only thing your armed with is little “I” and “me”. The journey is too long and wrong, why start if you’re going to fail? Stop trying to please yourself, your cross is already full of nails. Don’t waste thought on the subject, enjoy the deflation of defeat. Trust the air, fall into your grave, relinquish, relax, retreat. Let’s take Martin Luther King, his pursuit was just luck. Harvey Milk, Ghandi, I mean who really gives a **** Just because men die for a cause, can we believe they didn’t have flaws? Men fall and float, leaders come and go, you don’t reap what you sow. But for all the fault of man, all it’s deceit and aggronance, Pathetic self-pity and pious, self righteousness. There are some people who try again, who start afresh. Who rise above the doubt and this is the measure of man's amount.
