Against the Drowning Noise of Other Words, CCLXXXIII": "jagged Ramadan moon"
skeletal houses
jagged Ramadan moon
in each window
Note: My haiku below could be read as its prequel and sequel respectively:
Against the Drowning Noise of Other Words, XXX: "Al-Aqsa"
distant boom, boom, boom ...
the first sliver of the moon
over Al-Aqsa
FYI: Al-Aqsa is the compound of Islamic religious buildings that sit atop the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Ramadan moon
behind skeletal houses
the edge of peace
