The Wreck (Boxing Day Tsunami, 2004)


For the victims of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami


Pieces of boat float on the water.

A cargo of hands and heads go

unrecognised.

Camera crews walk on eggshell lives,

pick up threads of stories.

But tomorrow

the photographs

will start to fade as the world

continues to churn

in its grave.
