It’s far and it’s close:
that day that turned those numbers 
into silent. space.

A veil of clouds was over New York City at 10:36am Eastern Time yesterday, September 11, 2011 as the crew of Expedition 28 observed a moment of silence from the International Space Station. And now, it is a new morning on the spaceship we call Earth.

I don’t need to taste 
polyphonic memories
to digest it now.
