the Capitol

FYI: See my "To the Lighthouse" post, Joshi (Prefatory Note) as a Poetic Device. And this haiku is a sequel to my haiku sequence, Inciter-In-Chief, published on the day of Donald Trump's second impeachment:
Inciter-In-Chief
We will never give up, we will never concede. You'll never take back our country with weakness! You have to show strength! -- "twice-impeached president," Donald Trump
From inflammatory words come violent actions -- on the steps of the Reichstag and now in the Capitol. -- Germany’s Foreign Minister, Heiko Maas
morning chill
a river of floating
MAGA hats
noonday sun
Do the right thing, a twist
to the President's mouth
a smiling white man
waves the Confederate flag
Capitol hallway
her bloody handprint
on Nothing Can Stop Us
gathering dusk
FBI most wanted
a silhouette in the window
of the Oval Office
Trump Impeachment
the border wall higher
than the setting sun
