-
- A thick unnatural silence
- drops with the dust.
- A black charred beam
- resembles a body,
- until it twitches and
- resembles a black charred beam.
- Streamers burn and drip,
- while banners proclaiming
"Merry Christmas"
- flutter a greeting someone's
- been blown from.
- Some died, some were scarred,
- and some feel the blast
- after 25 years;
- it still trembles voices,
- causes pain -
- stirs words that
- fall like this.
