Hurricane Jeanne

Michelle Greenblatt

I am a letter I have not addressed
but I have read so many times the ink
is fading&the paper is crumpled

& I wanted you to know I am
Moving On&this is a Love Poem
written in free verse
It is written to you
or maybe to myself

I wanted you to know
you live on the beach
& today at midnight a hurricane is hitting
so you might wanna get out of your house
Her name is Jeanne not Michelle
like the hurricane of 2001
that swept the roof
off your apt

I wanted you to know
today is my eleven month anniversary
with the man that I love now
& he has not left me in an alley
with a gun under my chin

But what I don’t want you to know
is that tho I am growing
I don’t
give myself much of chance
anymore
