Breath

Barry Levin

Age 13

 

I take a deep breath,

Dust,

Ashes and asbestos,

Ashes of the people.

I breathe in the last minute writings,

I breathe in the last will and testaments.

I breathe in the towers,

I breathe in the ashes,

of those who are no longer breathing

And a tear falls,

And I breathe.
