DEUCALIONIDS The waters broke from the void before first light, a divinity ripping through the trembling flesh of marshes and the levees' old clay thighs, covering every mile of St. Bernard Parish.   Houses with their cement slabs have floated light as the rinds of watermelons you ate as a boy and chucked into Lake Catherine, swelled to overflowing by the god that surged into the Rigolets estuary   and left an afterbirth of sweet crude leaked from foundered tanks.  Cars hang like carrion birds on the highest branches and torn roofs.  Leached of mud and flood waters, the houses we pass cry out   broken window panes, duct-taped fridges, and a stillness that leaves us on the dead grass of this woman's home, like so many thrown bones. 606 $aFishing villages$zLouisiana$vPoetry 606 $aSmall cities$zLouisiana$vPoetry 607 $aLouisiana$vPoetry 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFishing villages 615 0$aSmall cities 676 $a811.6 676 $a811.6 700 $aHannan$b Chris$g(Christopher M.)$01600371 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823285803321 996 $aAlluvial Cities$93923428 997 $aUNINA
