Bent
And forward
With a neck leaning down
And a spine sticking out
Slouched
And covered
With a hand reaching out
And a heart falling down
Crouched
And beneath
With a foot falling down
And a shoe sticking out

9/11 Speech "Words"

I used to breathe with little lungs,

But I took big breaths 

For a seven year old. 

Today marks ten years- 

My lungs have grown a little...

But I still take big breaths 

To remind myself 

That everything is beautiful, 

If you learn to breathe easy.

It must be recognized that 

I am not the only one 

Whose ears miss your voice,

And whose hands miss yours.

Your heart was a suitcase-

Packed with so many other hearts,

And hands,

And minds.

And you loved so many things,

And so many people.

They loved you all the same 

And with your suitcase heart

That you never closed, 

You created a beautiful set of luggage.
