Burping satisfaction <br />You have banqueted well <br />Your swollen belly rolls relaxed <br />Satiated you spit <br />Carcass bones of my village <br />Unremorseful at my feet <br /> <br />Paraded on your watery shoulders <br />My mothers sari <br />Torn from her gentle body <br />Greets and grieves me <br /> <br />Profoundly wounds me <br /> <br />So calm............... <br />Your indifference now <br />While your adoring dead servants <br />Are littered in pyres <br />Returning ashen to the earthen cradle<br /><br />Simone Inez Harriman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tsunami/
