Five years ago this date
9/11 is one of those
where we remember
exactly what we were doing.
Five years ago I went
out in my yard somewhere
in Maryland eveningtide
a gorgeous sunset - silence.
Murmuring of the cars
occasional fly-over of planes
bustling children - nothing
birds' chirping - deafened.
It is with this quiescence
that I shall remember
the souls of September
the sonic deathliness.
