Freeverse 525

9/11/21

in a whirlwind it was below
a soundless hush of action
devoured by wispy smoke
a downtown form flattened
seriously bitten landscapes
the roar you hear is not summertime cicadas
but fires burning
emerging after just as long of a wait
they were awful stabs
but we took out the metal embedded in us
and after the bleeding stopped
we made proud and solemn sculptures from it
that can never tarnish or rust
