Don’t spray our forest
Day break, our stakeout pending,
Camp fire embers
Ellecee
Haiku inspired by
12. “Seedbombing the desolation”
There’s so much in this world to
fight against
Write a poem about tiny gestures or
symbolic acts that also signify protest.
The world wars
She doesn’t remember them
But she is not without empathy
The eulogies move her
Her wars were different
Fights for self-hood
Battles fought on so-called
Neutral ground
Nothing - no one -
Is neutral
We think we are
It’s an illusion
She stood her ground
Though knocked about
At times - without mercy
Battles won and lost
She has escaped into old age
Now the battle fields
Lie fallow
And so does she
