Signal 109

 
 


Bent, twisted metal deluges the remains,
Of the soot-caked furnace that cremated the unlucky.
The work-goers lie as dust beneath relatives’ feet
Unable to answer their ever calling mobiles
that remain ringing in the survivors ears.

Images of death and pain, swamp the shocked minds,
As the reality seeps deep into the weeping scars
That the survivers will never be able to heal.
The sea of flowers wilt for the loved ones
That may never be found in the twisted urn.
