A Haiku That Recalls The Past(Dec 2019) Poem by Andrew Lee

A Haiku That Recalls The Past(Dec 2019)



The bougainvilleas become molecules of memory with red petals.

They run around like our ancestors' blood.

They died here during the War.

The red earth speaks to my fingers

as the soil feeds the brown roots.
