Soldier's wife


SOLDIER'S WIFE
a haiku sequence

by © Victor P. Gendrano

soldier's wife
a brisk wind blasts open
her mailbox

she picks up
the muddy newspaper
announcing his demise

in the horizon
a meteor disappears
in a flash

Discharged soldier


discharged soldier
he stares at his gun's barrel
to nothingness

Veteran's day

gathering storm
in the far horizon
she salutes her dad
and tearfully implores
come back home soon

Navy mom

lightning flashes
on the far horizon
a navy mom
smoothes the wrinkles
of her son’s picture
