reading between the lives and writing between the lines, IV
George Floyd Square
a white man shoots a black teen
with his finger pistol
Note: This haiku is a sequel to the following one:
written one day after the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death
passing the shadow
of the George Floyd mural wall
white cops on the beat
Added: reading between the lives and writing between the lines, V
a crescent moon
over the West Bank Wall
a scream cut off
My haiku could be read as follows:
ReplyDeleteGeorge Floyd Square
a "white man shoots" a black teen
"with his finger pistol"
or
George Floyd Square
a white man shoots [with live ammo.] a "black teen
with his finger pistol"
