If you were in New York, you know.
If you flew that day, you know
If you saw, you know.
You may not seem wounded, but you are
You may not be bloodied, but you are.
You may not be hiding, but you are.
We may not be fleeing, but we are all fleeing
Don’t think you are fortunate to be far away. You aren’t.
Don’t think you were fortunate to be spared. You weren’t.
Don’t think you were fortunate to be left whole. You’re not.
Every soul is wounded.
Every soul is bloodied
Every soul reels
Every soul who sees will never be the same.
Everyone is a victim of every crime
We are all lost
Because
We are all saved.
