Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The Birds of Christ Out of the kingfisher, halcyon skies came the four hijacked jets bearing in their fuselages death by fire down on their pentacostal pyres. O seabirds, seabirds, distressed seabirds, with echoes of heaven in your raucous caws, O fork-tailed terns diving in the ghost plumes of smoke where the Twjn Towers stood as sign and symbol of the language of nations, O terns, terns, gone now in the terrorists' horror, gone the stanchions of commerce, o terns, terns and your cousin grebes diving in the midmorning air after the pancaking collapse of the Twin Towers, you, my seabirds, dive and DIVE DOWN where over five thousand died, O terns and grebes, sweep up and twist above the plumes of smoke to signify the rising of America. O birds of life and death, sweep up and twist where I last saw the Twin Towers of the World's commerce from the Belt Parkway next to Gravesend Bay birds who fly above fireman, policemen, citizens and foreigners, devoured I the maws and teeth of destruction. But you, my terns and grebes, on extended wings you sweep up in the air like the miracle of miracles - The Christ of our Resurrection flying now over the starred form of the Pentagon which we already deem to rebuild in eleven years. And so the flag and fury of America shall find its home raised in the hearts of its eagle people. C copyright 2001 By John J.
