Ashes Ashes (9/11)
Images seared
into our collective soul
bright blue sky
marred by
smoke black as night
angry flames
birth
soot and ash
falling falling
without end
baptizing all within reach
inhaling one another
deeply into our lungs
wearing heinous evidence
as dusty white cloaks
tears leave trails
down faces
revealing
human flesh
not meant
for such things
to bear.
