Lyrics
Milton
By Mary McGrath
Copyright 10/10/24-Medium.com
All rights reserved

Milton, with his mighty hand 
points his greedy fingers 
toward Florida, 

Eager to grab us
into his massive fist
and squeeze until we bleed.

Out of the darkness
we wait, suspended, 
as his wind begins to whisper, 
until he starts breathing hard, 

Inhale, exhale, 
gathering strength
and then he howls,
laughing and whistling 
through the trees and eaves of 
our state, wheezing from exhaustion.

The palms flap back and forth, 
“I told you so,” they say
as they break and fly 
while we watch the eye go by 
staring as he tries to decide
which town to devour next.

Hungry, he touches down
churning through towns
leaving splinters
floating on the water
like broken toothpicks,

As another city
is flattened 
and whipped into submission,

I see how small 
we are as nature scolds us
for our greedy ways, 
and how he will always win.
