Where the towers were

Absence is its own power. I stood on the island and looked for the towers, tried to will them into view through the harbor haze, but they were not there. They would not rise, and the wound ached on. They sky was empty without them. I could not hear, I could not see, as I sometimes cannot see the face of loved ones when I close my eyes and whisper their names.
