Patricia Smith - Katrina lyrics

I was birthed restless and elsewhere gut dragging and bulging with ball lightning, slush, broke through with branches, steel I was b**h-monikered, hipped, I hefted a whip rain, a swirling sheet of grit. Scraping toward the first of you, hungering for wood, walls, unturned skin. With shifting and frantic mouth, I loudly loved the slow bones of elders, fools, and willows.
