Tuesday Morning Rising
By R. Scott DeSena
(written September 7, 2009)
The writer witnessed these events while driving to work on the NJ Turnpike on 9/11.
Tuesday morning rising
Two shadows
Turnpike
Turn my mind to stone
Traffic screaming to a halt
Chills crawling to the bone.
Fires for days
Billowing clouds
Smoke-filled ash
Filled with lost souls
Crying for salvation
A new terror unfolds.
We will never be the same
Still looking for excuses
Still looking for blame
We are all losers
In a terrorist game.
Never forget the images
Never forget the tears
Never forget the innocent
Not in a million years.
R. Scott DeSena's poetry (untitled and Velvet Air) has appeared in vox poetica in 2009.
