It was quiet, a zen eddy of flowers tears and prayers.
Children were quiet. Sadness was the loudest presence there.
We walked wounded. No one pushed or prodded.
Some left flags, others flowers. Stuffed animals.
... ... Each dropped a piece of their American Dream
to the pavement.
The water cascaded.
A drum circle formed to beat our hearts for us.

75,000 people had visited the three day vigil and donated about 900,000 flowers before it was cleared. An amazing spontaneous national hug.
