Phone message today from someone asking if I had anything appropriate for her to include in a 9/11 memorial reading. I do not have anything "appropriate" in the sense she means. I wrote one short poem in response to 9/11 & there is nothing in it of eulogy, elegy, of comfort. It is about demonic evil, & madness.
