A new year - some more haiku dumps.
2 Jan 2013

Ah palpitations
Better than alternatives
Pupils get larger

23 Dec
 "These are not the droids"
Boredom canceled by haiku

Moved along by words

21 Nov
World myopia
Short sighted 'solutions'
To long term problems


I see it at home

No plan beyond the next months
Shoot in the moment

Cost of land assault
Exorbitant for young lives
Lack of clear vision

Don't blame religion
Blame perversions of belief
Cynical usage

That peaceful future
Surrender fear, anger, blame
For prosperity


19 Nov
More than a decade
Daily rockets disrupt life
Southern Israel
---
Hardly team spirit
Human shields, captives by force
Rockets, missiles fall

Not even Goliath and force of world displeasure
Can move stubborn nation
Let alone a sumo wrestler

Think it's about land?
Jew hatred is a smokescreen
to fog the masses

18 Nov
Set equivalence
Jews are Nazis rhetoric
Where's mah hyoomin shield?

Warsaw-Gaza same
"Jews are Nazis" rhetoric
Who uses human shields?


media war for hearts, minds
shit slung all around the world
my kids freaked out

Trot out the chestnuts
Jews are Nazis
~~~
Hijab, mitpachat
Ironic glances of new moms 
In Hadassah ward

A decade later
rockets on all our children
fire on both houses

her kids hate mine
mine learn mistrust and disgust
how to break cycle?
~~~
17 Nov
quickly herded spawn
gas masks dug from closet
into bomb shelter

14 Oct
ice cream habit melts
most concentrated worker

sticky puddle spreads

24 Sept
There will come a poem Just right
The one where I get it. 
Exactly

Donall
I watch his dance steps
love affair with ardent words

Turn away, jealous

ah no, 
tongue's bewilderment at 
persistence of unoccupied space: 
tooth extracted

--> On a demolished building: The building has left the room. 

Donall's: 
staff notation
on the telegraph lines
the moon the only note

--> light held
      fermata

First livid, then white
marks on back of hand fading
masochistic glee
.
sluggish teenagers
loitering on dusk corners
loathe to head back home


20 August
inspired by HYK  --
 Shooting the breeze with the ferryman
Small wind teases the lines
No nibbles yet
//
Skinny dipping in the river
Stirring up Styx
Reedy legs wade
//

Reaching the further shore
Handmaidens glide up
To guide to firmer ground

--

Move along now

Nothing to see here
These are not the drones you're looking for

31 July
 In all her glory
Sleek birthday suit revealed

Carpet matches drapes

24 July
kidding in plain sight
torrent of images, sound
a whirlwind courting

27 June - remark on hyk post
partner surfaces
satisfaction and creamy smiles
flesh made fantasy

brought down to earth
she points out
his closure gaffe

crossed my road today
young jackass leading two sheep
morning metaphor
