What a powerful and tragic poem! I wish you'd never had to write this one. I'm with you in thoughts and everyone affected by the terrible disaster in Spain. Best regards.

Yesterday Girona was flooded. This is a terrible disaster. Important factors are climate change and the agricultural system.

Thanks for informing, Ken.

Thank you Marc. We tend to say "I have no words" after tragedy of this scale. You've given us words. Time for us to share them.

I heard your area has been devastated by flooding. As poets do, we write about our lives and what shapes them. All the best of luck, Marc.
