We were both there then, Filtering words through humid air That warned us not to hope, This time, for an accident-- We both saw it burning, Both felt the ashes brush our skin, as if in Consolation or apology, as they fell, As we fell to our knees.

Or Apology
We were both there then, Filtering words through humid air That warned us not to hope, This time, for an accident-- We both saw it burning, Both felt the ashes brush our skin, as if in Consolation or apology, as they fell, As we fell to our knees.
