Memories

Camille

took my sleep

Frederick

took my high-heels

Katrina

took my carpet

Ivan

took my trailer roof

Sally

took my storage shed

power out,

sitting on back porch

unsticking

old photographs

they all

took my memories

but none

took my life

wondering what they

took from ancient ones
