Dateline: 9/11 = I loved to watch birds. [Flying kingdom of it shines on a cloudless sky.] I loved airplane all the same. The long office hours, dull drones used to make my sleepy eyes shifting through a sky, searching for an opening to fly with the birds… [A day is a day until something happens.] I, an useless man was looking at the window, close to the sky. Someone say about a file. My habitual hands shifted with a mechanical speed over some dead tree pulps. Papers surrounded me once more. I wished for a wing, again. “Look buddy! A jet.” I had not seen one flying so close. I of course would not see one again. [A flight, Majestic Regal King-size Death.] It was coming to me, into me, the burst the blast. [As to why, I don’t know the answer still today.] I can see my girl from here in black, mourning through million nights and more. Ah! Sky is so light and my speed is in light-years. Beneath lies the earth, a dark mound oozing sepia blood. clever talks delay friendship! |

Must be one of the best that have been written on this dramatic topic, dear Ku! I am deeply impressed. Another poem that can't be forgotten. Love, Margherita |

Oh, I so agree with Margherita! What a magnificent blend of brilliance, imagination, deep thought, sensitivity, empathy, understanding and compassion! You are an artist and a poet par excellence! I hope that you are keeping a collection of your poetry on your computer and on a print-out - please, please, please don't mislay a single poem. Thank you for this sparkling masterpiece. - Owl |
