Ashes And Dust (Remembering 9/11)
ashes everywhere
their faces are ashen with terror
they have even forgotten to cry--some of them--
the ones who remember abandon it for later.
for now
all they know is terror
and disbelief as thick ashes swoop down from the towers
and cover the world
from a distance
a wise old man strokes his beard proud
ashes everywhere
the world is covered in dust
mayhem is unleashed and its not even may yet
terrors are dropped overhead
and the old man flees into the mountains lost
as everywhere the remains are buried
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
