MONSOON


by Estelle Bruno


I sit on the dock

watch the boats happily rowing 

a beautiful cool quiet day

no tension

thinking how lucky I am to be here

when suddenly, out of nowhere

this monster wind begins to whip up

I see boats turning over

people screaming

someone grabs my arm

we somehow get to the parking field

crouch on the ground between cars

then just as suddenly, it all stops

did this angry wind come from an adjacent

country

Where?
