A Room of My Own: Walking While Black Haiku

reading between the lives and writing between the lines, XXI

police car's headlights
the young man wears a hoodie
at night while black


Addedreading between the lives and writing between the lines, XXII

taken from my bed
with my mouth covered ...
the Indian child
sobbing inside this Elder
before the grand jury


Addedreading between the lives and writing between the lines, XXIII

a goose
drops out of its flock --
a child migrant's stare

earthshine dimming the light in my love's eyes

FYI: The Weather Network, Oct. 6, 2021: Earthshine' is dimming and that's bad news for the climate

Earthshine is one of the most spectacular sights in our night sky. Yet, this astronomical phenomenon is slowly vanishing, and this is providing us with a new warning sign for the climate...Earthshine results from Earth's albedo. Of all the incoming sunlight that reaches Earth, roughly one-third gets directly reflected back into space by bright cloud tops and icy surfaces.
