footprints left behind recollected by hourglass
Haiku Notebook 2022
river of grace—
blessed are the favelas
under outstretched arms
Moscow—
a metonymy
of means
blossom clouds—
do the bells sound from Edo
or Tokyo?
from Robben Island
a white tablecloth lies draped
over apartheid
I am a camera
bidding goodbye to Berlin
—cabaret night
real or royal
a triple-peaked hill
spears the heart
penal colony—
a mezzo-soprano sings
with deep conviction
old city sewer—
you too can be the centre
of an empire
