I carried her wet from the shower
As the second tower
Collapsed upon itself
We did not have the television on
A lifetime later
I collapsed
Destroyed
When the dust finally settled
There was nothing but destruction
And screams and accusations
of Conspiracy
Some things just happen
For reasons of their own
The way she licked her own skin
Was reason enough
The curve of her
The sweat of her
The smell of her
The essential wrong of her
The arch of her back as the first tower was hit
The curve of her
The tan on her
The taste of her
The unadulterated desire in her
Was reason enough
To commit indifferent treason
For at least one morning
