killing fields:
the wind carries a butterfly
bone over bone

long-stemmed roses
he's back
without his leg

Kosovo Polje
new snowfall whitens
the Fatherland

refugees-
the faceless presence
of innocence

wolf moon
another battalion
ships out

pearl harbor day
buried somewhere deep
in the news

the splinter in brother's eye his head in the wind

in the glass case
of skulls, a reflection
of my own face

cloudless sky
for a second or two
world peace

september 11
all my TVs
on the same channel

the stars
misaligned--

cyber bullying 
even elementary school pupils 
unwilling victims 

beyond ideas
of  right and wrong…
tonight's stars

with a shredder 
he talks of restoring 
a broken vow 

found at the bomb site:
two lines of haiku

Baghdad -
lovers still will be
lovers

machine gun fire
she stirs more honey
in her tea

stepping into the cockpit
of a bomber
named after Mom

against a 'correct' war what's an artist to do

paper lanterns…blue shadows on corn snow

the patch 
on the soldier's vest
"Viet Cong Hunting Club"

Vietnam War Memorial
there's Frankie
the kid who stole my beanie

over coffee
we talk of global warming
in a well lit café

roundabout
a war is a war is a war

rehab farm — 
unspent shells weather
into ploughshares

Hiroshima Day --
in my heart, I release
a thousand paper cranes

small-town diner
      the young widow
            opens her mail

stop counting syllables
start counting the dead

family heirloom
dad's tiny war journal
full of poems

Auschwitz does the wind still howl?
