| Paratext Text | (In ómós mhairbh na dTúr 9/11/01) 7 Feabhra 2005 |
| Notes | The poem is dedicated to those who died in the attack on the Twin Towers, 9/11/2001. Descriptions of ceiling collapse, a woman jumping from the towers, the digital camera capturing her falling form for the media. Detailed, poetic description of a single woman persona in the poem, who made the decision to leap from the tower. The gracefulness of the pose captured on camera is juxtaposed with the horror of the landing that awaited the victim. |
