back to zero
dawn/no
dawn & hands held
out
at the edge of town
empty
but not broken
grey
light kissing yr sister’s eyes
and
that these are only human wars
that
we are only lovers
cold
rooms on the shadowed
sides
of silent buildings
the
dust of factories
thought
it was february
because
i felt no pain
thought
it was spring when the
hands
of forgotten children
began
reaching up out of the mud
the
trick of course is to not
despair
in the face of
your
own death
the
hope is to strip away every
emotion
until all that
you’re
left with is truth

When the World Trade Center in New York opened in 1973 it featured the Twin Towers, which were the tallest buildings in the world at the time. They were both destroyed on 11 September 2001 when al-Qaeda hijackers flew two Boeing 767 jets into the complex. At 8:46 AM American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the northern facade of the North Tower. At 9:03 United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the southern facade of the South Tower. After burning for 56 minutes, the South Tower fell at 9:59, followed by the North Tower after burning for 102 minutes. Their collapse caused structural failure in many of the surrounding buildings. The attack killed 2,753 people. The clean-up took eight months.
