night walk
from drizzle to sleet to snow --
this years-old game
of would have, could have, should have
with my drunken shadow
Added:
talk of divorce
on the long way home
for an hour
her silence speaks louder
than the sound of a blizzard
Added:
Glimpses of Light
burnt houses
the fruit of a charred citrus tree
clings to its branches
smoldering ruins
an etched mural stands alone
at the temple
FYI: This is a sequel to the following haiku:
No More Fairy Tales, XLIII
a stairway
what remains of a burned house ...
Pacific Coast sunset
Added: On the Brink of Trumperica, IX
the White House
pronounces, only two sexes...
trans youth trapped
between black-and-white Kansas
and rainbow-colored Oz
FYI: In 2021, President Joe Biden issued the first presidential proclamation recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility. And the first International Transgender Day of Visibility was held on March 31, 2009.
