She brushed the dust from her face and carried on. The same as always? Too different to know where to begin. Reasoning? Explanations won't rewind the news tape. Won't breathe life into lungs again. She brushed the dust from her streets, her buildings, her survivors. Remembering her burns. The lives etched into her walls Permanently. 11th September 2001This is just something that came from the heart. Written September 11th, 2001 © on Sep 11 2001 08:06 AM PST, Louise Bell   18 • 0 • 1
