REMEMBERING 9/11
A haiku sequence
simple math
six hijackers
to six thousand dead
innocence crumbles
among New York rubble
September rain
patriotic fervor
the geraniums
remain in bloom
blood-stained sun
sinks in the rubble
twilight of hopes
the Vietnam vet buys
red, white and blue tulips
memorial garden
In my book, Rustle of bamboo leaves
but first published in
World Haiku Review
Vol. 1, Issue 3, November 2001
