reading again
his last haiku -
breaking news
refugees
left with nothing
but their lives
alpha male
praises himself and pouts
to camera
sleight of hand
our deception is requiredfor your security
the beckoning light
swallowed up by toxic fog
lies about lies
wind-chill
the crack of light around
a closing door
the ominous mood
of a half-remembered dream
fast moving clouds
a book opened
at a labyrinth mandala
winter retreat
taking a break
from the news about news
Spiegel im Spiegel
wiped from the sky
with the stroke of a pen
the sun and stars
kicking up dirt
he says he's the only one
who'll keep us clean
the worst - pretending it can't happen
swallowed up by toxic fog
lies about lies
wind-chill
the crack of light around
a closing door
of a half-remembered dream
fast moving clouds
a book opened
at a labyrinth mandala
winter retreat
taking a break
from the news about news
Spiegel im Spiegel
with the stroke of a pen
the sun and stars
kicking up dirt
he says he's the only one
who'll keep us clean
icy blast
a small voice whispering
this is not normal
a way of speaking
that says much more
than words
backing away
from the angry man's smile -
a child
morning stillness
sunshine
in the winter garden
how long until he
causes irreparable damage?
haze about the moon
a bumblebee drones
from flower to flower
slow news day
even among
the lies and deception
cherry blossom
Plane trees
as if there'd never been
a storm
Presidents' Day
falling silent in remembrance
of the truth
the tattered edge
of a dry leaf in the wind
restless nights
sleep deprived
the world becomes ever more
nightmarish
the urge to hide
until it's over -
winter storm
that thing he
doesn't want to hear mentioned
violent squalls
winter's end
things that were ours
now yours or mine
spring greening
the stone Buddha's smile
remains unchanged
without palaver
the quiet glory
of spring sunrise
