Twin Towers

Like into a deep mysterious well the heat unbearable they disappear like dropping stones once loved and so familiar their faces going to where what is gone is gone no time granted to ask why leaping into the blue sky a death such dreams and plans they had for tomorrow everything must now be but as dust Dedicated to people forced to jump from the Twin Towers in New York 2001

This was a great tragedy, Nigel: This really captures the disbelief of that moment. I also wrote a poem about this called, “The Falling Man.” I must look for it and post it. Best, SuZ
