searching for life

ground zero --
blackened sweat drips from mask
of the life-saver

***

September morning
on the cup with broken handle
Twin Towers

***

September 11 ...
gusty wind in the pines
with a hint of smoke

***

September 11 --
in line at the blood station
bandannas and skullcaps

***

September 11 --
the World Wide Web covered
with all kinds of dust

September 11th --
after seven years, still
incomprehensible

at the corners of her eyes

before their time
