Editor’s note: Dan Bowler wrote this poem following the destruction of the old Citibank Building at Curry and Telegraph streets.

Broken Pieces

Scattered everywhere

Broken pieces of yesterday

Piled and stacked before being recycled

By God and Nature

One and the same

Broken pieces flush down the rivers and valleys

They fall to the depths of the oceans

Beaten and broken by light, wind, rain and fire ...

We are born to be broken into pieces of a life

We once knew

To become new

Again.
