To the World Trade Center Dead

by Joseph Balletti / September 17th, 2017

Where should I take my body?
Now that the Moment has come.
Should I take it to the flames?
Or to be crushed by falling walls?
Or should I fly
For just a few seconds in this heavy life,
And hope the godless wind
Sets me gently down
On the river’s ever-rolling waves.
