Andrea Stuckey - Nine-One-One

Here. It was in this spot
that millions fled in a blizzard
of steel and fire.
Men fell to their knees
to pray as others were consumed
by the trauma floating around them.
The windows shattered and fell
around them, raining glass.
The walls and all the beams collapsed
in a shower of death...
and rebirth.
