Flood

The tragedy brought some

never seen before beauty

a refutation of normality

new colors and textures

that only maddened chance can provide

The water cleansed our souls

from attachment and the trivial 

made us remember that sometimes

wants and desires are just excuses

conventions of the unfulfilled 

Like everything else

it's a little of chance, a little of choice

can we choose our past?

Ulysses A.
