Freelance Photographer for Hallmark Greeting Card Company in the '70's. Still busy writing poetry.
though years of suffered loss bring no relief.
Remembered is the gas mask at a glance
by firemen-stunned below the Tower’s grief.

that day we ran, all ashen_ panic stings.
Our skin and hair so gray; we’re aged, all
that day we flew, gray-haired,
our feet had wings.
