The Happy Twins

fireworks light up sky. hi-lo buildings, pumped-up torch of New York Harbor, ripples of copious ships, excited helicopters. the twins are very happy, long before they fall on their smoking knees and crumble to dust 1/9/2021 Manhattan Celebration by Alexander Chen

Kim, Though these two no longer stand, there are others proving how very special twins are in our world. -Richard

Twins are indeed special. Both my parents have an identical twin, though mom’s sis passed away.

Imagine, if we knew what our future 10 minutes from now would be - we could be murdered, or die in a accident, or win the lottery, or have Trump resign! Whatever, it changes either our life or the lives of our families. I don't like fortune tellers, I don't want to know. Imagine the twins - so sad, horrific what happened. Well penned Kim, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Totally mastered the ekphrasis Kim. I have never tried it, but I recognize brilliance when I read it.
