first snow
melting in the morning rain
-winter will be long
in the mirror
what did Mohamed Atta see?
Samson
pulling down the temple on the Philistines?
in his vacant eyes
and expression void of character
what did he see ?
Saladin?
what redemption did he find
in the moment of his murderous self-immolation?
beyond moonlight's reach
in the midnight of a well
-waters cold and deep
Freud said
in his endless musing
that
within each one of us is a germ
a germ of self-destruction
that cocaine
cigars
peppermints (bad for the teeth)
are expressions of self loathing
sometimes a cigar is just a cigar
but was Alexander perhaps
not trying to conquer the world
but to escape from it?
the storm has cast
all the cherry blossoms to ground
-who shall put them back?
...there are hours
when one may seem to be
the only silhouette that is moving on the street
a dog may bark
but what does he really have to say?
did Mohamed Atta's mother love him?
I can still hear her weeping
Mohamed
Mohamed
Why?
