come dawn, the aftermath
carnage marks its path
the tempest’s brutal wrath, leaves us numb

Day 16’s Florescence for Jane Dougherty. We are entering the stormy season here. It’s the battle of the seasons and the elements repeated year after year. What is laid waste we restore over and over, collecting the salvageable remnants, while mourning the lost. This is a random seaside photo of the aftermath of a storm. Last night, several neighboring towns less than an hour from where I live were flattened by tornadoes. I thought about using a photo from the news had captured the damages this morning, but it is too soon I think. Too soon.

Several people did not fare well. Theyβve transformed the middle school into a shelter for those whose homes were razed. π’

We do. Which is probably why talking about it is a national passtime. π

It helps to pass the time and divert us from the news about our president cavorting with stormy’s and playboy bunnies…and foreign dictators! π
