Communities across the state are still recovering from the Memorial Day floods brought on by El Niño. That was the inspiration for Typewriter Rodeo’s David Fruchter this week.
El Niño
so much dry
and then the sky
opens
all the water
all at once
like the kind of love
you wished for so hard
needed so bad
but then when you got it
it was more than you could take
too much too intense
the entire house
of your heart
washed away
not everyone survived
and there’s more rain to come.
