Dialogue Through Maria

We speak for only minutes,
then the line cuts off.

Our conversation
cuts through weak connection,

Yet the island lines 
fail to hold on this night.

So thankful for limited talks,
for the hurricane continues

To spread its deadly hand,
thinning supplies cutting off

Its citizens' livelihood.
Your voice remains resilient,

Yet we wonder how much longer
our homeland will suffer.
