Marjorie DeBol DeFazio - 911

In a week the trees
Changed from green
to yellow, to orange
to reds and browns
As though this is
An ordinary September

In a moment the tall trees
Made of steel, of stone, of glass
Changed from vibrant colors
To grey dust
Nothing is ordinary
In this September

September 20,2001
