i won't (Free verse) by elizabethann
they told us to remember
september.
they asked us to pray.
they begged us to cry.
i didn't.
images of people jumping from
inferno above,
not below.
we heard their bodies hit the ground
they didn't want us to forget the sound.
a human jumping from one hundred stories up
was fodder for their specials.
i couldn't mourn something that was just
another headline.
we had mixed emotions and not a soul to help.
i ignored my pain
i guess it was too hard for everyone else.
they still run the specials
reminding us of pain we try to forget
and i won't shed a tear.

She didn't realize that she was in possession of dried up salty mucus, why would we hurt her by chopping her wings of extra comfort?
She is missed but I visit her and pooscat every day and place a wreath of skimmia japonica upon her mound whenever possible.
