King’s Cross

London suffered a major terrorist attack this morning.

Bombs ripped through several buses and underground trains in a devastating, coordinated attack. least 22 people have been reported dead from the attack near the King’s Cross tube station. In 1987, I saw an angel at King’s Cross and wrote a poem about her. If real angels walk the earth (and I suspect that they do), I pray they are comforting the victims and people of London.

London after midnight
In the tube to my hotel
I see a young girl
looking out the window
pensive
beautiful
with wild hair
and she has written "Jesus"
on her white canvas tennis shoes
I want to talk to her
but a quick glance
at my reflection
and I know
that she would be afraid of me
so I remain silent
At King's Cross
the angel walks away
and the train
drags me deep into the bowels of the city
