Sep 11


Upon this day of horrors

I toiled away my task

When I heard the first collision

I thought about the past

Whence came the next explosion 

I finally knew at last


They fall away like dominoes

To disbelieving ears

Later we were sent away 

And wiped aside the tears


Then with the ones I love

I finally got to see 

The depths of darkness in the heart 

And what it did to me
