| Comments: | THE LAST DOVE'S FLIGHT Jason Christopher Hackwith September 11th, 2001 "The dove descending breaks the air with flame of incandescent terror" ~T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding The last dove's flight into the world Was brutally ended, wings ripped from her back, Thrown to the ground to spite her children. As we watched, numb, stricken with grief, Wringing our weeping hands, The best of us tried in vain to save her; The worst of us turned away. She had but arisen, just launched from her nest. Her abandoned chicks, unable to rear themselves, Wait patiently for her to return. No more. And the world, this world that once was free -- Or was it ever? -- reels, staggers drunkenly, Soaked with blood. The blood cries out for her; And I fear, I fear, oh how I fear She will not fly again.
