SEPTEMBER THE 11th

Both twin figures are injured by lightning;

their graceful bodies to the slaughter go

from the unpredictable and accurate blow

that brutally severed from it´s stem the rose.

Never will be another May or September

for you the mirrors of those fierce dawnings

of sun upon steel and glazed curtains

that promoted the glance of sidelong glimpses.

To the city boasting of your possession,

world reference and north for human mazes,

you were the needle and gnomon to the bustle,

giving the scale, counting among the amazing

tall buildings till the disgraceful cutting

that your harvest indistinctly mowed.

UN ONCE DE SEPTIEMBRE DOS MIL UNO

TWIN TOWERS POEM

Who will see you, oh mirrors for the lights 

shading the color of twin by-passing hours

on your skins reflecting the suns dancing

under the skies of the fast changing blues.

Twin sister towers peer in disgrace,

how can then fly the indifferent cloudscapes

with the memory of beloved and caresses

that for no more their sweetness is to be.

Today you sink when wounded on the flanks,

torn by the claws of the unexpected beast

that opened such gaps in graceful bodies

and to the bottoms vertically you go.

Dark sea of asphalt is there to welcome you

into rough waves of dust and dark smoke

to swallow in depths the vessels with the lives

that held the thought to be at home that night.
