September 11...

gray pall
broken glass falling
myriad reflections
showing horrors
flashes bright
bodies fall
buildings fall
hearts fall
innocence gone
edifice economic
smoking rubble
wounded soul
America died
America reborn
cruel phoenix
angrily crying
vowing vengeance
smashing eggs
mangling nest
eagle cries
ever proud
-STD '05
