She cannot
look it in the eye
the same way again
its latest excess
an abomination
beyond excuses
Like the parent of a drug addict
she’s afraid to go downtown
lest she finds her Life
in that dust
on the streets,
lest she breathes him in.

My first reaction is a lot of anger directed towards someone perhaps a cheater but I do not know. Seems angry though.
This really came from my reactions to 9/11 at the time, as well as the resurgence of these feelings after watching a documentary on 9/11 eyewitness accounts this past weekend which was really harrowing – from thoughts about how life betrays humans with its absurdly random events and about what was in that dust after the buildings collapsed.
Thanks for stopping by.

This is so harrowing and I imagine people who lost loved ones in the awful events of 911 feel exactly the same xx
This is breathtaking.
Thanks for taking the time to read my older posts, Monica.
