once again
I rip my paper
to pieces -
on a moonlit night
...
the first tanka in the sequence, Politics/Poetics of Re-Homing
a new immigrant
in the land of Snow White
...
no sound in the black and white
Rodney King beating video
...
Trayvon Martin Day
Justice and Peace painted
in black and white
...
English teacher said
Just wipe 'I used to be....'
out of your mind
walking home alone
...
a frog jumps
in my haiku draft
ripples
to the page's edge
...
standing still
three First Nations children
in twilight
my spring-roll stand
...
one drop
after another
the winter rain
falls on our faces...
...
