Fiction.

Always remember and never forget.

the ash covered streets reflect my mood.
the brightness of it hurts my eyes.
it is a chilly day in my soul.
i can't believe so many have died.

    the sky cries.  i know how it feels.
    the wind blows cinders in my face.
    there's a hole where no hole should be.
    in my heart, there is an empty place.

i dig through the rubble and cry.
cry for strangers and those i knew.
how many died?  just how many died?
in the collapse of the towers, two.

    over nine million folks live here.
    how come no one answers the phone?
    in this city that has never slept
    i feel lost...violated...alone.

my brothers...why did they go in?
o, God...was this their final call?
i hope we can find some still alive.
but that doesn't look likely at all.

    i wish i could get through to doug.
    tell him and the kids i'm okay.
    a fireman helped me to escape.
    but many more have perished today.

i just hope that lady got out.
wonder if she has any kids.
kids should not be without their mama.
if any survived, i hope she did.

    i got out...and i don't know how.
    everything just happened so fast.
    i recall someone was pointing the way.
    i got out, then the tower collapsed.

i never learned that woman's name.
i hope she wasn't left behind.
but i can't worry about that.
i have so many brothers to find.

    doug and the kids were so happy.
    you never heard such a loud shout.
    they don't want to let me out of sight.
    i wonder if that fireman got out?

Very powerful tale. My son Doug stayed home that day in NYC, but his wife and child went out. No contact for hours, but they all were safe. But Doug said two weeks later, "I smell dead bodies."
