Passing of baseball royalty

Of Brooklyn's peerage
the heart of the order
Duke Snider

Mare Crisium

Fountain pen ink spill
not contained by a blotter
Mare Crisium

Christchurch, NZ

Under the rubble
a pram's wheels, a torn blanket
nothing more

Bring a plate to Kiwis!

Good on you, mates
the quake leaves you bloody
but unbowed

Rafters on the Florida Straits

on old inner tubes
they cling -- barely
a wide, wide sea

Malcolm Little - Malcolm X - El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, American

Salaam, Malcolm
your walk ended too soon
the road calls

from a past war (any war)

Wet snow falls slowly
on a young deserter who
shivers and cries softly
