Poetry: September 11, 2001


Hearts and minds


Time passes through our bodies

hearts and minds

like a cold, blunt knife

through butter


Changing our form

hearts and minds

of aging life


Pushing and bullying memory

into the black-topped

shadowed, forgetting corners

of aging life


Hearts and minds

defy time's violence

holding tightly to memory

pulling love from shadow


Cleaving to pain and tragedy.

Hearts and minds

disciplined by duty

will never forget.

    The police running around fiercly

    What

    SEPTEMBER SKIES

    Once upon an autumn morn,
    Where doves aspire to fly,
    They stood in monolithic grace,
    Against a cloudless sky.
