Memorial Day Haiku

for the soldiers who died in the longest war in American history

Memorial Day
her only son's room
quiet ... and quieter



Added: 

scattered sunflower seeds ...
busloads of children on the road
to the border

FYI: The sunflower, Ukraine's national flower, is becoming a symbol of resistance against the country's invasion by Russian forces. Its exuberant and lively form represents the antithesis of the destruction now being suffered by the Ukrainian people.
