This brought back moment by moment the horror, the terror, the inhumanity. Your presentation of it, in little gasps, made it so real - something we want to remember and simultaneously want to shake it out of existence because reliving the horror feels just too much . . . - Owl |

It is almost a cliche to ask certain questions; - Where were you when John Kennedy was shot? - Where were you when John Lennon was shot? - Where were you when Princess Diana was killed? - Where were you when 9/11 happened? The "cliche" questions are all about killings and deaths. These shocks are implanted in our psyches. We remember them! If only we could change the world so that we can remember good things. If only.... A very effective poem 2islander2 - twin poems you could say. |
