It was published in a British Sunday paper (not sure which - Observer or Telegraph, perhaps) on the first Sunday after Sept 11th.
: Here it is, it's called 'Spared'.
: That Love is all there is,
: Is all we know of Love ....' - Emily inson
:
: It wasn't you, it wasn't me,
: Up there, two thousand feet above
: The New York street. We're safe, and free,
: A little while, to live and love,
: Imagining what might have been -
: The phone-call from the blazing tower,
: A last farewell on the machine,
: While someone sleeps another hour,
: Or worse, perhaps, to say goodbye
: And listen to each other's pain,
: Send helpless love across the sky,
: Knowing we'll never meet again,
: Or jump together, hand in hand,
: To certain death. Spared all of this
: For now, how well I understand
: That love is all, is all there is.
