George Floyd Square Haiku

reading between the lives and writing between the lines, IV

George Floyd Square
a white man shoots a black teen
with his finger pistol 


FYI: This haiku is a sequel to the following one:

written one day after the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death

passing the shadow
of the George Floyd mural wall
white cops on the beat



Addedreading between the lives and writing between the lines, V

a crescent moon
over the West Bank Wall
a scream cut off
