We all watched in horror
Hell in all its fury
carnage heaped upon us
watching in real-time
a nation now at war
attacked from without
but more united within.
Those days more a blur
a muting of the edges
but brought back in focus
for at least a day, September
11,
when the twin towers fell,
when the Pentagon was hit
when heroes died in that
field.
Evoking old memories,
wounds,
like the Challenger disaster,
those moments, tragedy,
loss,
when we were changed as a people
joined in one purpose, at
war,
attacked from without
but more united within.
