The Haiyan Dead

The boy who The bride with The red lipped The gap toothed crone
climb trees flowers in her hair perfume women selling peanuts by the
The drunk by a street The girl dreaming
lamp waiting for his under the moon church
house to come by

3. The storm wreaked havoc on the area, making it appear as if there was no rubbish to be found.
Houses were demolished, people's livelihoods were lost, dead bodies were strewn about, people were
unhappy, broken, and their aspirations were shattered.

4. I think it illustrates how following the typhoon dead bodies were strewn about and abandoned by no
one, including their own relatives.

5. It was written in a chaotic way much like the aftermath experienced and felt by Filipino survivors
when Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines it was messy but there was a lesson to be learned.

6. The people who made up the Haiyan Dead identity were the same people before the typhoon hit, but
instead of doing what they've been doing since, they're now searching for their own corpses in places
where they had good thoughts and spent their lives. They are now searching for their bodies, which
were previously active, dancing, worshiping, playing, working, and experiencing emotions. They're all
dead or missing now.

7. The term Haiyan dead refers to those who died as a result of the typhoon Yolanda. This poetry
similarly expresses the devastation caused by the typhoon. When the hurricane hit that night, many
were praying for a miracle, expecting for someone to come to their aid. This poem demonstrates that
the storm had a significant impact on their lives. This will come back to bite them. It became a significant
aspect of their lives and memories, which they will never forget.
