Tribute to the 9/11 widow on flight 3407…

tribute 9/11

My digital clock reflects its bloody blinking at 9:11
I am affixed as the minute is longer than any other
and reminded of this catastrophic day
by the time constraints of every day  
 when my digital clock calls
for my gaze
at 9:11 am 
each
and
every
day

“One of the victims of Continental Flight 3407, Beverly Eckert, was a Sept. 11 widow who put her never-ending grief to good use to make the country safer.”  (MSNBC)
