If I Were a Tempest

Cara Losier Chanoine

Satellites would register
the ferocity of my voice.
My cupped hands would swallow ships.
I would part, then come together
like a falling piano hitting the ground,
a mess of broken keys reassembled in the froth.

You would stack sandbags
and evacuate your kingdom
for a horse that could ride against me,
some aquatic beast to shield your shoreline.
I would come anyway,
a vengeful storm aching to break,
open chested,
against the beach.
