for all who struggle with addiction and substance abuse

In this country of old men
there is a fierce hurricane approaching
which easily destroys that which has taken generations to create.
All things move towards dispersal.
Trees must be sacificed as storms approach.
Tonight the cheerless moon shines on us all, for good or ill.
Some people are enthralled by definitions of hurricanes, meteorology, science
Others conceal secret griefs.
The moon casts her gloomy pall on us all.
