I’m posting a poem I wrote about 9/11 here.
Please feel free to share if you feel it merits your support.
Hearts and minds
hearts and minds
like a cold, blunt knife
through butter
Changing our form
hearts and minds
with the heavy gravity
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.
