And We all Fall down ---

--it was as if
we were detonated

fated to fall,

to tumble like twin towers,
crumbling cares
around wasteland's waist

and we knew
the taste of dust
that doused a thousand dreams.
We rumbled realities
to crash carelessness
through windows
of non-reflective refurbishments

neglecting to mention
new notions
that wiped our wishes away

and day--

that raised referendums
through ill-defined moments.

You became my torment,

twisting metallic meanings
through my screaming-space,
to erase feelings
that somehow fell too far

I drifted down
your sifted shames
and lost at love's games
within your greedy grasp

while my voice played victor
to your dictated dilemmas.

We started atop seperate roofs,
produced proof
of chinese conspiracies
and weighed whispers
upon the lids of lesser lives...

and as the mirage of you
dies,
my cries simply stop
and I smear your memory
within the tread
of terrorist taunts--

you haunt me no more,
while you walk your wisdoms
on the walls of other souls,

to grow only grief
within wails

of your solitary demise.
