All nineteen were Muslims.
To forget is to “aid the terrorists”.
No mosque at ground zero,
This hollowed ground.
Two blocks away is too close.
Toronto is too close.
Breathing is too close.
We will not “aid the terrorists”.
Fear was and remains the common presence.
There was a moment,
When the twin towers fell upon themselves,
And all things were possible.
Too soon, too very very soon, speeches and pledges
Consumed the air,
Leaving no space for humanity to seed,
And we returned to our tribes.
No traces remain of the common cause
That rose when the buildings fell.
If there is an order to evolution
Stepping down has the advantage of gravity.
