A Room of My Own: Winding Road Home Haiku

winding road home:
forward in space, and yet
backward in time


FYI: My traditional 3-line haiku is written in response to the following visual haiku:

coming home
flower
            by
                flower

San Francisco Haiku Anthology, 1992

Jane Reichhold


Added: Against the Drowning Noise of Other Words, CCXXX: "reality check"

Reality Check
written in response to War Criminal Netanyahu's genocide denial rant at the UN

Did the Nazis 
ask the Jews to leave?
at the UN
the P/Crime Minister shouts
to an almost-empty hall

her family
her house and olive-lined village
all lost in fireballs ...
even through dreams can she find
an escape route from Gaza
