BAD  TUESDAY

 

Great big blue skies -
like today, September 11, 2021,
twenty years after the horror –
after the losses of so many that day –
husbands, wives, children, parents,
pilots, air line attendants,
fire fighters, friends, a cousin, a
neighbor, a priest, a stranger.
 
Like Bad Friday – becoming
Good Friday – it takes love and
time and a change in thinking
for a Bad Tuesday to become
a Good Tuesday – Bursting
Twin Towers becoming like
a new type of crucifix in a dark
sky - with new knowings.

DUSK

 

Dusk,  like dust,
tells me there
are endings – like
a supper, like life;
everything has
what every movie has:
The End.
