ghosts that linger


With a single blast

the building into itself

did fall, eyesore, gone


Ten stories of death

A burned out shell, where people

once lived, children played


One smoke, from drunken

hand fell among newspapers

Tomorrow's headlines


Now the dust settled

Memories trucked away, new

soil covering old


Tribute to the dead

New life erupts, sun drawn blades

Family playground


Children again play

with the ghosts that linger, now

at peace, once again
