terror took towers
tears take time
years
soaking ground zero
pale and brown hero
move together like wind through Old Glory
one hundred-ten stories
of one
story
terror took towers
terrorists take time
better spent living
sublime
worship and weddings
husbands & husbands and
husbands & wives
killed by
bad bridegrooms
wed under Holy words
that sound much like yours
TERROR took towers
teaching takes time
pillars uphold, prayers rebuild
who would judge
Jesus
for witch trials, slaves?
you've seen churches in ghettos
crosses in hoods
hoods bearing crosses
of flaming wood
but Christ...
who would say His is a hateful house?
