Dead as a Dust Bin



2001:  sleepy eyed in Seattle
elevator descending to ground
zero when the towers blew up
bodies into the flaming air, molten
metal streaming down steel skeletons
as I gazed at the man across from me
eyes wide open, what?, no, can’t be.
2011: payback ten years  later behind
tall white walls dressed in barbed wire
where a man stands, then falls
as blood splashes against the
back wall.
