A Room of My Own: Gazan Child's Stare Haiku

Against the Drowning Noise of Other Words, CCLXXXI: "smoky gray and child's stare"

part of winter sky

where pale white turns smoky gray

a Gazan child's stare

Added:

one glass, then two ...

this winter night darkens

as distant sirens wail

Added:

ten hours of winter

tick-tock still stretching

in the ER clock

FYI: This is a sequel to my haiku below:

A Hundred Gourds, 5:3, June 2016

Added:

three-week cold snap ...

my heart and mind stretched

by this longing

for blooming snowdrops

and red-winged blackbirds

Added:

squeak, squeaking

of an empty porch swing

the bank notice flips
