I was ashamed of myself when I realized life was a costume party and I attended with my real face. (Franz Kafka)WE CALL IT VISION
Sometimes poetry speaks truth better than lines of fact. I don’t have many syllables to share today. One haiku contains lines containing 5, 7, 5 syllables, and one tanka delivers spaces of 5, 7, 5, 7, 7 syllables. Peace to all.
DURING A BLACK-AND-WHITE TV SCENE
” I don’t see color,”
says a white man to lynching
as he leaves the scene.
COMMUNITY
The flower sees bees
coming and opens petals.
Possibilities.
Plant and insect share alike.
Even as the stem stands still.
” I don’t see color,”
says a white man to lynching
as he leaves the scene.
This hits right between the eyes, Terry. I recall a black-and-white photograph many years ago — a formal tea at some plantation in Georgia. Hanging from the arbor canopy above were several lynched persons — a photograph that I cannot unsee, of course.
