Andrew Wyeth/ The Revenant
Thank you,Tess, for Magpie/ Prompt #82 , the Revenant of 9/11 is forever with us.
WAITING
A room
not yet found by the living,
explodes.
Is that you, essence of my love?
What are years to the vanished?
I know what they are to the waiting.
Where are you?
Gather yourself in my memory,
open a door,
pull me in,
so we can relive existence
before the azure sky shattered.
Return with your lost face.
Are you looking for me?
Your dust still tells stories
on a shelf
where books and angels
cleave to each other.
Not all of you, today,
revenant.
Let your hand return
for a touch,
let your face brush mine
with a kiss.

You express all too well that day in the line "...before the azure sky shattered." Each stanza is telling, painful, and bittersweet at once.

Your dust still tells stories
A good excuse for never dusting...???
Hi Rick-
I can still see the black smoke rising against that bluest sky..and the hundreds walking uptown, away from it... memory never to go away...thank you..
