world trade sunsets

if you whisper
i will hear

brooklyn
near manhattan
not far
from the bronx

once
went atop
the world trade
center

saw wall street
a hot dog vendor
a pretzel saleswoman

yonkers and staten
island

beautiful new jersey

the sunset over
union city

took a tunnel
went
under the hudson
then north
to the cloisters

if you whisper
i will listen
