Runners crowd
road to race,
toes push off-
Family, friends
cheer on
as clouds hang
in city...Cold
Spring Day
exploding
heart of city
Back Bay breaks
THE MARATHON
at finish line
two Blasts
Shock
limbs fly
off, running
chaos, racing
to aid, scrambling
lost walking
away
Only backpacks,
hundreds left
on sidewalks
now empty.

"3 killed, 130 hurt at finish line; area locked down"
