Twin Tower Trauma
-----------------

As the sun rose the morning lay still
along the Hudson the day unfolded.
Staring at the Bay a set of twins sat
patiently awaiting the ants to pass.
Entranced by the music the city produced
content with the pavement warming souls.

While the season changed opportunity struck
from clear blue skies rang a thunderous shot.
Ignoring their chores, ants stopped to gaze
amazed at the sight and sound that was made.
Searching frantically for answers shrouded,
the sin reflected upon the water.

One twin fainted as the other stood stabbed
weeping ash pass a staggering victim.
The sound of silence chilled the air clouded
hearts darkened with ants vision obstructed.
Breaking psyches of those gathered near
as the second one toppled joining its twin.

The hive went silent surrounded by guilt,
not all were prepared as Seven then fell.
Overcome with sadness, lost in madness,
events too heavy that the world just paused.
Contemplating hate, withstanding it all,
beating with strong grief the ants just moved on...
