2016 Anniversary of 9/11
listen to the light that
falls through the window the message is
clear
softly crying lean
in a little closer let me
gently touch your broken heart
your words covered
in bile reveal your secret
hush instead
let's share chocolate
covered cheese
and a proper cup of tea a
bowl of alphabet soup gather
letters
make words seek
meaning talk
the talk
we'll gossip endlessly talk
about the neighbors the missing
woman
everyone knew and loved they
found her car the keys
still in it
a mystery unsolved a
wealth of topics waiting
to be explored
pass the talking stick back and forth what is authentic what
is not
gibber gabber a
long afternoon the
leaves turn yellow
we meet in the middle open
the corpse dig out
the pain
take out the trash a
love ending which
can never be
wrapped in blue tissue put
away a wealth of
subjects to be discussed
time passes seasons
change we rub out
all the misspelled words
turns out to be a hairball with
jagged sharp edges doubt
confirmed
no way to untangle the
buildings fall down wild cheers
go up
fall to the ground we nudge the machine “tilt” sensors light up
celebrate the anniversary a
single tear that never stops it
all happened a long time ago
