Memories of Terror Return
7/21/22

Time and space coalesce
Like layers in a collage
Which we can't pry apart.

Thousands of minutes have passed.
And Thousands of miles from here
The images seen are doppelgangers.

Destruction in America years ago
Reflected today in Ukraine.
We can't run away from it.

Memories of terror return
PTSD rears its ugly head.
Your grief, is our grief.

We know your pain
We feel your loss
Another ground zero...of the soul.

Will it ever end?
Will the rubble stop falling?
Life implodes today like it did yesterday.

Stone by stone Ground Zero was rebuilt.
But your pile grows ever higher...;
Once again we mourn the dead.
