Tanka & Haiku strings

she longs for
the day when the rich
will steal from
themselves to build
a poor man's home


tin can pets . . .
the things madness
can't grasp


is it madness
longing to revisit
at times
the pitch black quiet
of measured breaths?


the smell of
wind, the voice of quiet
. . . long nights


the edge . . .
watching mini guns
water
what sanity
had forgotten


twilight dusk . . .
a bad dream cradled in
a soldier's arms


the quiet . . .
when night's watered
with napalm
and stars huddle in
underground caves
