Fall means Autumn in American-English, it also relates to loss of innocence, as in the Biblical Fall, when Adam and Eve were cast out of Eden.
Today, of course, is the anniversary of the fall of the Twin Towers, to which this short poem refers.
SEPTEMBER
Rewind events and turn back time
as though to deconstruct a crime
and then restore the broken lives
of fathers, mothers, husbands, wives.
Bring back to life the telephones,
computer screens, suppress the moans
of the bereaved, of those who died
when there was nowhere left to hide.
Rebuild the towers, forgive the Cains
who weaponised the deadly planes.
Let hearts be changed and please let all
be as it was before the fall.
