by David W. Rushing
It wasn’t so much the destruction of buildings
or even the searing loss of life
as much as it was the undeniable presence of evil
that day and the next
as the world took an eye for an eye
and the devil laughed and God got ready.
David W. Rushing's articles and poems have appeared in over 100 magazines. His two chapbooks are Unrequited Love, Unfinished Lives and Appearances, and his first work of non-fiction prose will be out in the summer of 2008.
